A headset includes a frame and a plurality of transducers positioned on the frame to transmit beams towards one or more portions of a face of a user of the headset. The plurality of transducers receive reflected beams from the one or more portions of the face and generate sensor data that varies in response to the received reflected beams. The headset also includes a controller configured to use a machine learning model to generate an estimate of an expression of the user using the sensor data.
