Your Social Sixth Sense.
Research
What We Discovered
73% of introverts report anxiety at networking events, and 60% of meaningful connections never happen because of hesitation.
Proprioception, our body's ability to sense its position in physical space, is a sense we use constantly without thinking about it.
Insight
What if we could see social signals?
People rely on body awareness and subtle social cues to navigate crowded spaces, but these signals are often unclear, making it hard to know who is open to talking or when to approach someone.
Social proprioception is the ability to understand one’s body position, movements, and personal space in relation to others and the environment. What if we extend Proprioception Into social space?
