He asked,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;is this to prove to others that you do indeed smile, and make it clearer when it is happening? Or is this an alert to help reinforce yourself never smiling again?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lee replied,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;So people far and wide can come and observe the much requested smile. It&#8217;s a beacon. A beacon of how much I hate everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s so much potential for this project. Imagine being able to play an applause sound every time you smiled. Or canned laughter every time you smile (which enhances the probability someone would laugh at your joke).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn&#8217;t Lee&#8217;s only face-based project, though. Here&#8217;s a scrunch detector and a chin switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B_BKOC1A-4U\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
