## 1. Executive Summary
Fesi is a dedicated, privacy-first mobile reaction video recorder developed for iOS and Android. It solves the primary friction points of traditional reaction recording:
1. The requirement to manually press record or hold the device.
2. The massive storage footprint and device overheating caused by recording 2 to 3 hours continuously for a few seconds of reaction.
3. The hours of tedious manual video editing and timeline scrubbing required to isolate highlight moments.
4. The loss of anticipation/buildup before a sudden reaction happens.
5. The privacy and security vulnerabilities associated with cloud-connected camera applications.

Fesi resolves these issues through a 100% on-device vision and acoustic artificial intelligence pipeline paired with a rolling 2-second volatile RAM buffer.

## 2. Technical Architecture & Specifications

### 2.1 On-Device Computer Vision Pipeline
- **iOS Framework:** Apple Vision Framework (`VNDetectFaceLandmarksRequest`, `VNDetectFaceRectanglesRequest`) accelerated by Apple Neural Engine (ANE).
- **Android Framework:** Quantized MediaPipe Face Mesh model accelerated by mobile GPU/NPU delegates.
- **Tracking Capabilities:**
  - Sub-millisecond facial landmark tracking across 76 facial points.
  - Multi-person couch tracking for watch parties and group movie viewings.
  - Expression metrics: Jaw displacement (gasps/screams), smile curvature (laughter), eyebrow vertical velocity (surprise/jumpscare).

### 2.2 Dual-Modality Acoustic Energy Engine
- Continuous local Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) frequency and decibel envelope analysis.
- Differentiates sudden local human vocal outbursts (laughter, screams, cheers) from persistent background television volume.
- Dual-trigger validation: Requires visual expression shift OR acoustic threshold spike to trigger capture, eliminating false positives caused by loud movie explosions when the viewer remains passive.

### 2.3 Rolling Volatile RAM Pre-Roll Buffer
- Circular FIFO ring buffer allocated strictly within ephemeral system RAM.
- Maintains exactly 2 seconds of high-definition video frames prior to the current timestamp.
- Unreacted frames are continuously overwritten in memory without ever being written to physical NAND flash storage.
- Benefits:
  - Preserves NAND flash storage lifespan.
  - Eliminates device thermal throttling.
  - Guarantees zero missed buildup/anticipation moments.

### 2.4 Privacy & Biometric Security Standards
- **Zero Cloud Architecture:** 0 servers, 0 external databases, 0 third-party telemetry or ad tracking SDKs.
- **Offline Reliability:** Fully operational in Airplane Mode without active Wi-Fi or cellular connections.
- **Biometric App Lock:** Saved reaction library is protected with iOS Face ID / Touch ID or Android BiometricPrompt using device Secure Enclave hardware.

### 2.5 Siri AI & Apple Intelligence Integration (iOS 18+)
- Built with native Swift `AppIntents`.
- Voice triggers:
  - *"Hey Siri, start reaction mode in Fesi"* → Launches app, activates ambient vision monitoring, dims screen.
  - *"Hey Siri, stop recording in Fesi"* → Concludes session, saves highlight clips to local vault.

## 5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

### What is Fesi?
Fesi is a smart, privacy-first mobile reaction video recorder that automatically detects and records your reactions while you watch movies, TV shows, sports, and streams hands-free.

### Where can I download Fesi?
- iOS: Apple App Store (https://apps.apple.com/app/fesi/id6813707570)
- Android: Standalone APK (https://fesiapp.com/download/fesi.apk)

### Does Fesi store or upload my face or voice?
No. All processing happens on your device's Apple Neural Engine or Android processor. Video frames stay in RAM unless a reaction triggers a local save. No video or metadata is ever transmitted over the internet.

### How does Fesi prevent phone storage from filling up?
Unlike normal camera apps that record 30GB video files for a 2-hour movie, Fesi only writes files when an authentic reaction is detected, resulting in around 150MB of total clips per movie.
