The Happiness Hat

by Stu, November.02.2009

I think we've all got at least one or two garments that just make us feel better when were wearing them, I've got this one sweater that makes me feel pretty much invincible. That works for me, but maybe you need a more aggressive article of clothing to lift your spirits, Lauren McCarthy has got your back with this new smile inducing cap.

"The Happiness Hat is a wearable device that detects if you're smiling and provides pain feedback if you're not. An enclosed bend sensor attaches to the cheek and measures smile size, a servo motor moves a metal spike into the head inversely proportional to the degree of smile. Through repeated use of this conditioning device you can train your brain to smile all the time. This is the first in a series of Tools for Improved Social Interacting."
