Abstract
A method includes displaying, via a display, an environment that includes a representation of a person associated with the device. The representation includes a virtual face with virtual facial features corresponding to respective physical facial features of the person associated with the device. The method includes detecting, via a sensor, a change in a physical facial feature of the person associated with the device. The physical facial feature indicates a physical facial expression of the person. In response to determining that the physical facial expression breaches a criterion, modifying one or more virtual facial features of the virtual face so that the virtual face indicates a virtual facial expression that satisfies the criterion.
