JabberMask

Last updated

JabberMask is an under-development wearable computer face mask that uses LED lights to allow its wearer to smile in a manner, despite wearing a mask. The mask was developed by game developer Tyler Glaiel. An early, unnamed prototype gained considerable attention online after Glaiel shared it on his personal Twitter account, [1] [2] [3] [4] and WHO listed it as a "COVID-19 innovation" on their website. [5] Although Glaiel initially stated that he had no plans to sell the mask and encouraged others to build their own, positive press led him to launch a Kickstarter campaign, where he successfully raised over $70,000 to fund mass production. [6] [7] [8] [9] The mask is powered by an Arduino computer. [10]
