The paper deals with the issues of the user's gender and age detection and classification of user emotional states assessed on the basis of the webcam input. The goal is the implementation of the Affdex SDK into a program which can recognize faces in front of the scanner. The program is to be able not only to classify the emotional state but also age and gender of one or more users. The first part of this paper (section Related work) focuses on ways of detection and classification of faces in the past. At the same this part describes also methods and classification of emotion, age and gender as well as methods used to detect faces and a more extensive description of the SDK and Affectiva company. The practical part of this paper looks into programming the pilot application and the final version written in C programming language and its methods' description.
