Frequently Asked Questions

What is Visage Verdict?

Visage Verdict is an AI-powered platform that offers four types of analysis: physiognomy (face reading), facial symmetry assessment, palm reading (chiromancy), and emotion/micro-expression detection. We use advanced AI (Grok-2-Vision) to analyze photos and provide insights based on ancient practices and modern science.

Is this scientifically accurate?

Our analyses vary in scientific grounding:

• Emotion Detection: Based on the scientifically validated Facial Action Coding System (FACS)
• Facial Symmetry: Grounded in aesthetic research and evolutionary psychology
• Physiognomy: A historical practice with limited scientific support; offered for entertainment
• Palm Reading: A traditional cultural practice without scientific validation; offered for entertainment

Is my data private?

Yes. We take privacy seriously. Photos and analysis results are automatically deleted after 7 days. We use encrypted storage and never share your photos with third parties.

What is physiognomy?

Physiognomy is the ancient practice of reading personality, character, and destiny from facial features. It has been practiced for thousands of years. While modern science is skeptical of deterministic claims, we offer it as a fascinating historical practice and self-reflection tool.

What does the AI analyze in my face?

Our AI analyzes face shape, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, chin, jawline, ears, and overall proportions to generate insights.

What is facial symmetry analysis?

We measure how balanced and proportionate your face is using horizontal symmetry, vertical proportions (rule of thirds), and the golden ratio (phi = 1.618).

Why does symmetry matter?

Research shows that facial symmetry is correlated with perceived attractiveness, health, and genetic fitness.

What is palm reading?

Chiromancy (palmistry) is the practice of interpreting the lines, mounts, and shapes of the hand to gain insights into personality, relationships, career, and life path.

How do I take a good palm photo?

• Open hand: Fingers extended, palm facing camera
• Good lighting: Natural light or bright indoor light
• Clear focus: Make sure palm lines are visible

What is emotion detection?

Our emotion analysis uses the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) to detect primary emotions, secondary emotions, micro-expressions, and authenticity (e.g., genuine vs. posed smiles).

Can I use this to detect lies?

No. While micro-expressions can indicate concealed emotions, they do not definitively indicate deception. Emotion detection should never be used as a lie detector.

How much does it cost?

We use a credit system. 1 credit = 1 analysis. You can purchase credits in packs (Starter, Pro, Expert). Credits never expire.

Can I get a refund?

Due to the instant nature of AI analysis, credits are non-refundable once purchased. However, if you experience technical issues, please contact support.
