SPOTLIGHT:
Laugh Battles at the
National Comedy Center
|
Laugh Battle is an interactive experience at the
National Comedy Center that pits 2 competitors against each other to make each other crack.
Using the RFID Laugh Band technology, the exhibit allows guests to receive jokes that fit within their competitor's Sense of Humor Profile.
To optimize this experience, the National Comedy Center partnered with Microsoft to utilize facial recognition software. This allows the game to keep track of competitors and determine when someone smiles or laughs from the other participants joke.
Guests of all ages are able to play and engage with the exhibit so they can further explore the art of comedy and comedic timing within the National Comedy Center.
This partnership with Microsoft was one way for the company to bring AI beyond the tech world, and into the daily lives of everyday people, as well as applications of culture and society.
