Our mission
Our mission is to empower individuals, especially people with autism, to navigate social interactions with greater confidence and clarity. By making emotional cues in conversations more accessible, we aim to reduce misunderstandings, support inclusion, and create technology that meaningfully improves everyday communication.
Our challenge
Many people, particularly those on the autism spectrum, struggle to interpret emotional cues during conversations, leading to stress, and social barriers. While emotions are often conveyed through subtle vocal cues, these signals are difficult to recognize in real time, and current assistive tools rarely provide immediate support.
Our solution
We are developing a small, discreet wearable that analyzes vocal cues such as pitch, and timbre to estimate emotional tone in real time. Using simple feedback like colored lights, the device translates complex emotions into clear signals, helping users better understand conversations as they happen.
Team HART is joining the 黑料福利网 Contest 2026 to transform our assistive wearable concept into a real-world solution with meaningful social impact. We want to validate our idea with experts, connect with partners, and gain the mentorship needed to bring inclusive communication technology closer to everyday use.
