If you want to watch TV, you have to enjoy it! Englishman David Hedberg presented a monitor with a retro look and top-notch software that drives a TV that requires a smile from the viewer, because it is not powered by electricity, but by a human smile!
Sometimes we're so tired (read: lazy) that we can't even reach for the TV remote, or we're so lost in thought that we don't even know what exactly we're watching and what programs we're aimlessly switching between. What if the enjoyment of watching television became mandatory? Smile TV it's a very special TV, because it only works if you laugh... it's powered by a human smile!

Smile TV namely, it is powered by software that recognizes facial expressions and only when it detects a smile on the viewer's face, the images appear on the screen and if you want to continue watching them, you have to keep smiling...
no matter how strange you look. On the chair in front of the TV in the middle of the gallery, when you yourself laugh at funny animal clips, bad shots from action movies, judges who are above the "talents" and similar examples of bad TV programs.
