Mask of Emotion displays your feelings via LED emoticons, we cry/laugh/yawn
Since most people spend their days behind computers expressing emotions via colons and parentheses anyway, the Digital Media Design Dept at Hongik University figured they'd just be done with it all when they created the "Mask of Emotion." It displays LED emoticons that supposedly react to external stimuli, such as a smile when the wearer shakes hands with someone. Its creators say it was designed to hide real emotions and -- literally -- mask them with whatever is being presented on the mask. Peep the mildly creepy video after the break.

Daft Punk. Been there, done that.
What you meant to say is, "Daft Punk bought better."
Oh god I want one now.
Even more so if you can program your own image to display.
custom emoticons and a slightly retuned emote recognition could make this incredibly cool despite how absolutely wrong it is.
ok that is creepy
It needs one more...
X_X
When I hit the person wearing it.
@_@
For when they spin around several times quickly.
@ starnerf
In Cyprus and Greece we use @@ for testicles :p
the -_- one reminds me of ironman
@@Alex:
In America, we don't chat about testicles, nor do we use ASCII characters to depict them.
Right now, in this here text box, this is a penis B====D.
Does it have a WTF ?
So crazy its awesome, I need one!
"So what I thought I'd do was pretend to be one of those deaf-mutes..."
Wow if I ever saw anybody wearing one of those I would be force to slap them around with a large trout.
Does it have Magnum or Blue Steel?
WIN. I laughed at that comment.
what does it show during sex?
:O (My "O" face)
rhetorical question, right? cause that scenario will never come to fruition.
and that's what she said
I hope ThinkGeek gets these.
..."Klaatu barada nikto"
I'm suddenly overwhelmed with a craving for "Jack in the Box"... maybe it's just me.
Yeah, that was the first think I thought of. They need to make a white one with a yellow hat.
No CraigJ, they really don't.
Is'nt there already something out there that does this? It's called your face.
Breaking News there is a new emoticon on it!
Heres what it says: What the F***
OHOHOHOHO
funnnaaaay
Finally something that clearly indicates the emotions most women go through in 39 seconds without you having to guess which one is currently dominant.
Yes yes YES! I can finally get those facial expressions that everyone talks about!
The Cybermen are coming, where's the Doctor?

Retarted! : #
this'll mask the intentions of a rapist walking by too.
...No it wouldn't.
Rapist would have a permanent ^________________^
Thought bubble translation:
"hm? what?"
"ahaha~"
"*%, why are you hitting me"
"ho ho" (korean equiv of girly laughter, like "tee hee")
"hmm thinking"
"argh, why did I do that?"
Am I the only one who immediately though of Strong Sad from HomeStar Runner?
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai
Wrong country dude.
i want to see the face beneath using the new TSA scanner. =]
Does this remind anyone else of Hexadecimal from Reboot?
+1 for good memories
Whoever wears this is officially gay
That has just got to be the creepiest thing I've ever seen... And I so got to have one :p
And for all you naysayers out there just imagine the looks on everyone's face if you walk into work with that on. Their expressions would be priceless :p
¯\(º_o)/¯
The question is:
Does Daft Punk approve?
this mask is neither harder, better, faster, nor stronger; plus the exposed human arms show that the wearer is clearly "human after all"
Someone needs to get that video working again asap. . .if for no other reason just so I can try to remix it to the beat of "i think i'm turning japanese"
