# Use Cue Mirror

Cue Mirror is a live camera drill. Your face becomes a mirror that flags what
your expression is broadcasting — short microexpressions and longer held looks
— while you practice.

Everything runs in your browser. Video stays on your device.

## What you practice

After a quick calm-face calibration, Cue Mirror watches for expression flares
such as happiness, sadness, anger, fear, surprise, disgust, and contempt.

- **Micro** — a flash that lasts about half a second or less
- **Held** — an expression that lasts longer

You see the live label, intensity, a short event list, and running counts of
micros and flares.

## Start Cue Mirror

1. Open **Menu**, then **Library**. Choose the **Training** filter and start
   **Cue Mirror**. You can also ask Dale.
2. Read **Before we begin**, then choose **I understand and want to turn on my
   camera**.
3. Choose **Start the mirror**. Allow camera access when your browser asks.
4. Hold a relaxed, neutral face while Cue Mirror calibrates (about one second).
5. Practice with your face in the frame. Choose **Finish session** when you are
   done.
6. Read your **Session read** — duration, flares, micros, and what showed up
   most.

Choose **Practice again** to run another session, or **Send to Dale** when you
want Dale to coach from the summary.

## What Dale receives

**Send to Dale** shares a short text summary only: how long you practiced and
how many micros and held flares appeared. Video, frames, and raw scores stay on
your device.
