Smile Helmet

A helmet for people in jobs which demand an unusual amount of smiling, such as air-stewards, receptionists and politicians. A sensor in the front of the helmet detects anybody within a 2 metre range, at which point the mouth is pulled into a broad grin by a small servo motor and some concealed fishing wire. The helmet addresses the facades of social interaction and explores our responses to affected expressions. It is modelled here by Brendan Walker.

there should be a cam at the front of the unit that shows the face of the person wearing the device. the images should be available online with the ability to remotely cause the wearer to smile on command. now that would be cool.
