According to a national institute of Health in the USA, the National Institute of Mental Health, about 15 million people worldwide suffer from anxiety when it comes to socially interact with strangers. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology saw the high numbers now as a reason for a new type of social software coach to develop, which shows you how to use the laptop with foreign people and helps to communicate better with these and any anxiety at social interaction to combat.

Very few can imagine how it probably is, if you, as soon as you step starts to sweat with people in a social contact, feeling uncomfortable or even gets scared. Worldwide, millions of people suffer under these anxiety and do not dare to talk to people, almost hiding and be “different” regarded as “foreign” or. The MIT now has a solution for this problem at hand – can learn the software first coach with the right people to overcome those fears via computer training

The new system consists of a camera to detect the facial expressions and. gestures, a microphone, as well as an animated virtual partner who is a question that speaks with one that brings a deliberately awkward situations to train social behavior. The software of the famous technical university in the USA primarily aims to assist people in working life and there to take away their fear. If you think ahead a little, but the software could be in the future for many different scenarios, such as the response of men and women to get people to take the fear of contact with potential sexual partners, use. So there is still a lot of potential up and the coach of the MIT Social is a promising first step in such a future.
