Samsung might not give off the immediate impression of a warm, fuzzy company, as it really comes off more like a faceless device-manufacturing juggernaut, but that doesn't stop it trying to get a handle on what people are feeling.

They're components of a facial action coding system: something designed to reference the contractions of facial muscles.
