Emotion Mask Hides Your Real Emotions
Smileys are supposed to be simple representations of human facial expressions, making it easier to put them down on paper. What if it were the opposite? What if you could bring those expressions out of 2D and have smileys replace faces in real life? Well, someone did and came up with the Emotion Mask.
This “Mask of Emotion” was made at the Hongik University in Korea, which explains why their emoticons are very Asian, as opposed to the more :’( style us westerners use. It’s supposed to be hide your personal emotion while displaying whatever one you choose, which is limited to happy, kinda happy, very happy, sad, another kind of sad, and angry.
Considering that PC gaming is very strong in Korea (enough to get skilled gamers to celebrity status), it’s no surprise that the Emotion Mask came from there. This should be popular among the gaming crowd who don’t want to show their faces when they lose consecutively in StarCraft.
