On the Educational Uses of Computer-Generated Cartoon Faces

Abstract
Computer-drawn faces can be used as tools for exploring visualization in learning and for presenting multivariate data. Previous applications by the author in the parametric control of computer-generated facial features are discussed, as well as new research and potential future applications. Also presented is the “autocorrelation-face,” a graphics representation which is created from the mathematical analysis of voice input. Implications for its possible use as a learning aid for the deaf, and in waveform analysis in general, are discussed.
