Social isolation and loneliness have become an issue in Japan due to an increase in the number of young people who have stopped attending school or withdrawn from society. Even if they try to reintegrate into society, because of their limited interaction with others, they feel worried about successfully interacting with others. As a result, there is a possibility that they may fail in schooling or employment. We heard that a friend, who had been in social withdrawal, struggled to find a job. We wanted to help young people who are trying to reintegrate into society. Our application is designed to improve communication skills for those who have difficulty with social interaction.
