The birth of technology has helped many people with social anxiety. But people with social anxiety will have to face the real world at some point of time. Our wearable piece is an extension of brain that could help people with social phobia to feel more comfortable in the real life. The biggest problem that they have is to interact with people in real life. And our wearable piece could help them express themselves. Also, could benefit people from processing their ideas, to decrease the stresses. (when people were thinking about something; but, had to say something that is opposite in order to fit in the situation of the conversation.
Through this past decade the rise of technology has been the most rapid as it’s ever been. A lot of people who have technologies in the reach tends to hide behind their screen, especially people who have some kind of social anxiety. The wearable piece that we have created is not a product but rather an exaggeration of a daily gesture, which is “hiding” behind the screen. It shows how people are so much more comfortable hiding behind their screen instead of interacting with the physical world; and instead of showing the real emotions or facial expression people tend to use emojis.
