“A report from Yahoo News Tuesday detailed a group of New York engineers who are developing a ‘biometric classroom’ monitoring program that will track students’ every move. Sean Montgomery, co-founder and engineer for SensorStar Labs, says tracking students’ eye movements, conversations and smiles with ‘EngageSense’ cameras will help teachers improve classroom learning. Algorithms in the program will crunch the raw visual and audio data to give teachers detailed information on students’ actions. Teachers will then be advised on how to better engage students.”
