The emoticon Mask

We live in a constantly digitalized world, so expressing our emotions has grown ever difficult. Not anymore though, as Digital Media Design Dept at Hongik University have created the “Mask of Emotions.” No more double dots and parenthesis for me, guys. It works on a fairly simple system: LED emoticons that supposedly react to external stimuli, such as a smile when the wearer shakes hands with someone. Its creators say it was designed to hide real emotions and — literally — mask them with whatever is being presented on the mask. Way to go to support a whole generation of unsociable kids. Peep the mildly creepy video after the break.
