Tablet Face
Many robots are built with installed tablets. Often the tablet is in a head. I was wondering if anyone has seen or could build a face that could be displayed on the screen. I have seen this idea around.
It consists of the basic face features eye brows, eyes and a mouth only. These features are able to move to show expression. Has anyone seen this feature or messed with one? Is it possible to build?

Edit:
The idea is like ROMO. I want only the face which could be run by an EZB.
DJ possible?
There is one thing that could help connecting your laptop screen and you phone, it is an app called

So if you managed to have all the stuff going on your PC you could just stream that window to you phone tablet or whatsoever and you animations would be displayed propperly....there are more apps doing this, but this one is by far the best one that I tested!
Hope this helps, or is fun to check out
I can't find my old project dude, sorry. I'll see if I can make a new Example Project when I get home.
@Doombot No problem about the project. If you can or cannot make an example, Thanks..
I made a face in Power Point and animated it to look around and blink. I converted it to a .wmv file and it doesn't work thru the EZB, but works in media player.. I'll keep trying.

A lot can be done with some simple graphics.
If you want to keep a JD model in the same scale and have a tablet face, you could maybe 3D print a new head and incorporate the Sony smartwatch 3 in to the head.
The Sony SW3 is just a watch strap and the watch itself sits within the strap.
You could make watch faces that use and show expressions. Then also use IFTTT to send messages to twitter for the face to change at times of day or when you receive messages/emails, etc.

I also would like to be able to call up animations smile, sad whatever animations. Are these animations called by scripts, maybe even reactive to voice synthesis etc. or eyes that follow you using the camera?

So to change face emotions, save different gifs or videos
I have the Wio terminal:
I got as far as the WIO terminal - no audio / speech , nor mouth moves etc.

works great, but has no audio
This is the code I used for the Wio Terminal, how can it be used for a script in Synthiam?
