COVID separates people apart. Physical distance hinders the opportunity for frequent and effective communication, causing a lot of pressure and anxiety among people. To enhance the emotional bond between couples, friends, family members, and strangers, we intend to create an interactive application enhancing emotional connections between your friends, partners, and family members. Users can share their current emotions through the application. While a user is sharing their emotion with the other users, their real-time facial emotion would appear on the other’s App or the emotion can be synchronically interpreted as emoji. Users can react to others’ emotions by changing their facial emotions in front of the camera, through massaging, or other interactive features on the App.
