As the weeks go by, more and more people are getting a vaccine for COVID-19 all over the world. However, even if COVID-19 is over, we will probably continue to wear masks for a while. Some even propose always using them. Therefore, it is not surprising that new models of increasingly sophisticated masks are still appearing. The latest of these is the Xupermask, designed by artist Will.i.am in collaboration with Honeywell.
Xupermask is an intelligent mask where the design and use of technologies with a standard prevail to meet the requirements of medical institutions.
As indicated, the Xupermask is equipped with dual three-speed fans to promote air circulation. It also has HEPA filters to meet the required protection standards. On the other hand, it uses a silicone facial seal that, as they explain, can be adjusted for each user.
In the most geeky section, we find the presence of some LED indicators around the HEPA filters. However, perhaps what makes it stand out from others is the incorporation of headphones. Not just any headphones, but ones with noise cancellation, Bluetooth 5.0, and autonomy of up to seven hours, according to what they say.
The mask comes in two different color combinations: white/grey/orange or black/orange. The price for both combinations is the same: a total of $299. It can be reserved on the official website of Xupermask from next April 8.
The (crazy) world of masks
With COVID-19 taking center stage in 2020, we’ve seen all kinds of masks and styles emerge to deal with the situation. In addition to the Xupermask, some technology manufacturers have taken the opportunity to release their models. For example, that of LG or Razer stands out.
In any case, if these smart masks are little known, some even propose using diving suits. It is also worth remembering the haunting Blanc modular mask.
