What if we can use the emotional data collected, to affect the mood of the city?

“Let me help you with that”

So what might this world look like?

Affecting our daily lives through objects

Learn to get to know you

Represent a collective passion

and show what the city feels

Through collecting our emotional data, we get to know our selves better.

Through collecting our emotional data, we get to know our community better.

Through collecting our emotional data, we get to know our city better.

Thus we gain a better understanding of ourselves as part of a collective.

This is only made possible through artificial intelligence.

And in return, it learns with us about emotions, and what it means to be human.
