I’ve always hated the idea that social confidence is something you either “have” or you don’t.
So we built a small clip-on wearable (Scople *launching soon) that measures social signals in real time—things like glances, attention shifts, and emotional response—and gives feedback in a companion app.
Before the obvious question: we don’t store images/video! Processing happens on-device and frames are discarded instantly. It looks like a camera for a moment, but it works like a sensor.
I’m posting here because I want the harsh truth: Is measuring social signals helpful… or does it make people overthink? What would make this ethically acceptable to you? What would make it a hard “no”?
