The Mood Band has a wide range of uses. For example, if a mother is having difficulty with what her baby needs when he or she is acting up or hysterical crying, the mother could most definitely make use of our product in that she could place the Mood Band on her baby's head and press the 'Express button', and find out what her baby needs in that moment. Another example would be when one is having a particularly horrible day, whether it be work related, relationship related, etc. and then have to retain his or her composure in a specific situation; the Mood Band would help the consumer accomplish their retainment of emotions.
The Mood Band can Express just as well as Hide one's emotions from the outer, judgmental world we all know too well. It is capable of expressing your emotions by displaying what you're feeling or your current state of mind on a 1 inch LED screen that runs across the front of the headband. The band comes in two different styles and sizes. One being 24x2 inches, and the other being 1/2x24 inches. The Headbands come in different color-ways, one geared towards men and one geared towards women; however, marisa and I believe it is a unisex piece, and quite stylish as well. The scale of the LED screen will vary amongst the two size headbands, one being considerably smaller than the other in order for it to fit on the 1/2 in. width.
The Mood Band specifically monitors and classifies your emotions by observing body language and vibrations from your brain. The headband then compiles all the gathered information and determines what you are feeling, and then either displays it for people to see or one can press the 'Hide Button' and the band will release vibrations and magnetic waves in order to relax the facial muscles making it so that the consumer show any emotions through facial gestures and therefore people will not be able to have any insight in to what you're feeling.
The Mood Band will ideally be constructed out of resin and a mesh like padding. There would be a 1/4 inch cushion between two layers of thin resin, one layer being on either side of the resin.
Marisa and I decided to design and manufacture this product in in order for people to be capable of having more control over their display and projection of emotions and feelings. We have noticed that more and more people in today's society cannot fully express how they are feeling when asked, "how are you?", or "what's up?". We feel that these types of individuals should be able to control how they communicate their feelings and emotions to others as well as more control in the choice on whether to display them or not.
