1. A computing system for sensing user conditions via an interactive necklace that supports user interactivity, the computing system comprising:
the interactive necklace comprising one or more processing components and one or more sensors including at least one body position sensor; and
one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processing components, cause the computing system to perform a process comprising:
sensing, by the one or more sensors when the interactive necklace is worn by a user, user conditions, wherein at least one user condition comprises user motion and/or position sensed by the body position sensor;
determining that the sensed user conditions of the motion and/or position map to a user intent; and
transmitting, to an other computing device, a message based on the mapped user intent from the motion and/or position wherein, in response to receiving the message, the other computing device performs an action comprising one or more of: A) altering the display of an avatar for the user according to the mapped user intent from the motion and/or position; B) indicating the mapped user intent from the motion and/or position by actuating one or more illumination and/or haptic elements of the other computing device; C) generating a reaction indicator, indicating the mapped user intent from the motion and/or position, within a text conversation, audio call, video call, or holographic call; or D) any combination thereof.
