This helmet is an artwork that satirizes and critiques the modern phenomenon of smartphone addiction. Designed specifically for 'smombies' (smartphone zombies), who can't take their eyes off their phones even while walking on the streets, this helmet is engineered to maintain safety while encouraging continuous screen engagement.
This helmet critically illuminates the tendency of modern individuals to overly depend on smartphones, neglecting their environment.
The 'protection' offered by the helmet, while ostensibly aimed at user safety, actually serves to further entrench smartphone addiction.
This paradoxical situation reflects the complex and contradictory attitudes that contemporary society holds towards technology,
emphasizing the need for a harmonious coexistence through healthy interaction with technology.

The helmet is designed to encourage users to focus exclusively on their smartphone screens. If a user lifts their head to observe their surroundings, sensors attached to the helmet activate, producing vibrations that create a sense of anxiety. This effectively coerces the user to redirect their gaze back to the smartphone screen. The helmet's obstacle detection sensors provide warnings to avoid collisions while walking.
