Here is presenting a few facts about this smart mask obtained thus far that you need to know.
1. The Smart Mask and its possible benefits in reading and understanding people’s lips and face:
The mask itself is made of transparent plastic, and apparently has been designed to make it easier for people to lip read and pick up on facial cues. It is a fact that a transparent mask is hardly an innovation itself because there are plenty out there in the market. However, according to the mask maker Razer the mask also has a "low light mode". This means that the mask's interior lights up automatically when dark leading to illumination of your mouth.
The company also claims that this allows you to "express yourself clearly regardless of the lighting conditions".

Is it comfortable to wear with all that tech inside? is a question about the mask that first pops in the mind. Unfortunately, as of now there is no answer because it hasn't been tried it out. Moreover, the mask manufacturer Razer is confident that a silicon fitting around the face keeps it comfortable, and also stops the mask itself from touching or resting on your mouth. It also mentions that thicker ear loops in the mask helps apply less pressure on your ears.
