Invention

What if there was a way for people to show how they feel, without talking. There could be a screen-like projection onto whatever clothing they were wearing. Hats and hoods would show smiley and frowny faces, depending on if they were thinking about happy or sad things. No one would ever have to fake a smile. Shirts and jackets would show what they were feeling, and the more they feel a certain emotion, the bigger the word appears. And if they are ever confused about what they are feeling, they can just look down and read it. On shoes and socks it would show how much they want to keep doing whatever it is they are doing. Whenever you want to continue, they’re green; whenever you don’t want to, they’re red.

Example interactions:

“Hey, I noticed you have a frowny face and your ‘scared’ is big, is there anything I can do to help?”

-or-

“I noticed that you always have a smiley face and green feet whenever we talk, do you want to hang out some time?”

This invention reflects a combination of a few of Oskar's inventions. Many of his are based on clothing and communication, so it only seemed right to find a way to help him by combining the two.

This invention would help Oskar with his interactions with people. It would help him to avoid lying, because they would visibly be able to see his guilt. It would also help him show when he needs help. There would be no need for him to bruise himself, because all the sadness he felt would be shown. Another way that this invention would help him develop and mature is that he would always know how he is feeling, allowing him to get a better grip on himself emotionally. He would also be able to tell how everyone else was feeling, so he wouldn’t have to guess anymore.
