As a result of the corona virus, the use of face masks is now becoming
commonplace around the world, and in view of this, a 'smart mask'
connected to the Internet has been introduced.
Japanese company Donut Robotics has introduced this smart mask that
can translate Japanese into 8 other languages along with the delivery
of messages.
The white plastic 'S mask' fits over a normal face mask and can be
connected to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, which can then be
used to convert texts into text messages, make calls or other tasks
through applications.
"We've been working hard for years to develop robots, and we've used
this technology to develop products that deal with the effects of the
corona virus," said Tsiok Ono, the company's chief executive.
The company's initial 5,000 face masks will be available to consumers
in Japan for the first time in September, with plans to sell them in
China, the United States and Europe.
The mask is priced at $40 and will go on sale in the next few months,
while the company's customers will also be able to earn revenue
through the app's subscriber offer.
The company developed a prototype mask that included translation
software designed for robots, and the mask was designed by a
company engineer who developed it 4 years ago for a student project.
