It would be awkward to smile/pose before/after a funeral, just because I need to call my mum or check my email...
That being said, I do think that there could be a legitimate use case here. One could set up a particular "emotion" (a face pattern) associated with someone forcing them to unlock a phone using their face. I mean, if someone pulls a gun or a knife on me, I'll probably just do as they say and look at the phone, rather than risk an additional hole in my body. But unlocking a phone and sending a distress call is something I could live with.
- saluki 9y agoy, if someone has a knife or gun I would just give them what they want and worry about a distress call after you're safe instead of getting fancy trying to activate an 'I'm being mugged' feature. I think that could be a nice feature but would add stress to the situation when you should just be focussed on staying alive trying to remember how to do that special thing or enter an alternate code.
- teniutza 9y agoI'm thinking of a situation when the phone, for example, is not enough for them. What if the don't leave you alone after that? What if you're a girl and they are going to try to rape you? What I'm thinking of is not about a "fancy" help-me-I'm-being-mugged "duck-face" pose, but actually a face pattern which, simple enough, could offer assistance in a difficult situation. What if they take away the phone and I'm left with no change of calling for an ambulance? You are right, though, that this requires some "friction" and probably some self control.
