For example, conversation connects us with others. In ITP, two areas I&#039;m interested in are helping people to create better social interactions and visualizing people&#039;s personal data. I&#039;m interested in these topics because I&#039;d like to know how conversations shape ourselves and affect the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Potato Glasses is a headset worn by a speaker, which contains a mobile phone, microcontroller, and two battery-operated OLED screens. It&rsquo;s connected to a pulse sensor, which collects heart rate data. A high pulse, associated with nervousness, activates the device.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the headset, an augmented reality application detects the audience&rsquo;s faces and replaces them with potatoes. It also displays the scripted presentation. The exterior OLED screens show a pair of digital eyes that reflect the users.<br \/>\nThe device enhances the speaker&rsquo;s and audience&rsquo;s experience &ndash; the speaker is able to ease their communication anxiety by avoiding direct eye contact and focusing on their script. And the audience gets a better presentation.<\/p>\n<h3>Classes<\/h3>\n<p>Thesis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manxue Wang Potato Glasses are a wearable device designed to ease anxiety during public speaking.
