A Television That Works Only When You Smile At It

The Smile TV, created by design graduate David Hedberg, may look like an ordinary, retro-inspired television—but it only works when you smile at it.



When its facial-recognition software detects the user’s smiling face, the television changes its fuzzy screen to reveal a looping content of musical clips and random action scenes.



To watch an uninterrupted broadcast on the Smile TV, viewers need to smile continuously at it.
