The author described the situation of the app and the prospect of relation to indicate SHORE has a great future. Meanwhile, he pointed out the importance of SHORE exactly and its multi-functions. Afterwards, the author introduced the principles of facial and voice detection's about SHORE. Finally, the author claimed the issue in the detection of voice side. There are three main points in this article. Firstly, more than half of our communication happens from our body language. Then, the voice of tone and spoken words were a distant second and third. Secondly, the SHORE Human Emotion Detector, which is an app and stands for Sophisticated High-Speed Object Recognition Engine. What is more, SHORE can make a pretty good guess as to whether you're happy, sad, surprised or angry via comparing faces from database. The last one, SHORE detects faces correctly approximately 91.5 percent of the time. It recognizes whether your face is forward, rotated or pointed to one side in profile. meanwhile, it works so quickly, it can even pick up on microexpressions. I think there are three reasons which had author written this article. To begin with, the SHORE is a new innovative technology, so author want to tell and analyze to reader what are the functions of it. In the second place, because Shore can bring many advantages for people and improve people's life, his motivation is to let people to understand these benefits in the future. The author make me understand the article by describing the SHORE working principle, hardware, functions and its conception. Because the article introduced the functions and prospect of facial detection exactly, I think two kinds of people suitable to read this article, which are the business man who wants to get new opportunity for earning money and the consumer who is interested in new digital technology. The author did not make assumptions about the readers of the article, but I understand this article from the main points which were author gave.
