neurowear's “Necomimi” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2013, category Interactive Art.
Our mission is to create an innovation in the communications area. When we look at Japan and its people we see that many are very shy and have trouble expressing their basic feelings to others. We decided to invent a new communication tool for them using their brain waves.
