A happiness mask for Oskar

The mask would be worn during the day, and would be very form-fitting. The mask would be exceptionally comfortable because it would fit faces perfectly due to its film-like composition. The mask would also be see through, and could be worn without attracting attention. It would have sensors in it to keep track of facial expressions. At the end of the day, it could be plugged into a computer and it would have quantitative data on the wearer’s happiness levels  based on which expressions were used the most throughout the day.

This mask could help Oskar, because he had an idea for a complex tear-drainage and reservoir system to record data on the general public’s happiness “forecast” (38). These masks could possibly be used to determine a daily happiness forecast based on user’s daily results by region. Oskar would enjoy this greatly, because it is more feasible than his reservoir system, and therefore more likely to be produced and used.
