This has been done in 1996 already. Check here at the MIT MediaLab and Ars Electronica http://wearcam.org/previous_experiences/arthur_elsenaar/ http://iaaa.nl/artex/index.html "The IAAA Department of ArtiFacial Expression develops new forms of algorithmic performance art which employ the human body as a computer-controlled display device. Our current investigations focus on the human face. We study the mechanisms of human facial expression, and build innovative muscle-control technologies. The results of our R & D are demonstrated in video-installations and live performances." No need to reinvent the wheel - just do some background research. Nice but not original.
