The limited expressiveness of virtual user representations in Mixed Reality and Virtual Reality can inhibit an integral part of communication: emotional expression. Emotion recognition based on face tracking is often used to compensate for this. However, emotional facial expressions are highly individual, which is why many approaches have difficulties recognizing unique variations of emotional expressions. We propose several strategies to improve face tracking systems for emotion recognition with and without user intervention for the Affective Interaction Workshop at CHI '25.
