Smile and the world will smile with you. The response of smiling back is an automatic reward for the individual who initiate the smile. To simulate this response, “The Armor” utilizes a virtual panel of people’s faces that responds to a user’s smile. This exchange of smiles between real people and virtual characters creates momentary happiness, although it is an illusion and a hollow chord.
