Touting it as “the world’s smartest mask”, Razer says it provides protection against Covid-19 and other viruses, and stands out from other options with its futuristic look, built-in microphones and light effects.
It is adjustable and features a silicone guard around the nose and chin. The wearer’s face is visible, and there are two ventilation zones around the mouth to filter air.
The mask uses replaceable N95 filters that offer protection against approximately 95% of airborne particles.
On average, each of these filters lasts three times longer than a conventional disposable surgical mask. This results in an 80% reduction in waste.
The mask will have an interior light in addition to the exterior LEDs, so that the wearer’s face is always visible, even in the dark.
Thanks to its integrated microphones and amplifiers, the wearer can be heard even when it is worn. It also incorporates an active air cooling and regulation system.
When not in use, the mask can be stored in its case, where it will be sterilised by ultraviolet light while being recharged.
Razer has not provided any information about the price of the mask.
While waiting to try it out for real, a special filter available via Razer’s Instagram page allows prospective buyers to see how they would look with this mask on their face.
