In general, a good interaction including communication can be achieved when verbal and non-verbal information such as body movements, gestures, facial expressions, processed in two directions between the speaker listener. Especially expression is one of indicators inner state and/or listener during communication. Therefore, recognizing expressions necessary becomes important ability Such will challenge for visually impaired persons. This fact motivated us to develop recognition system. Our system based on deep learning algorithm. We implemented proposed wearable device which enables persons recognize have conducted several experiments involving validate our promising results were achieved.
