Due to the critical situation of COVID-19,
we designed a smart mask called SMASK, which includes the online user interface and the
wearable device.It
can be customized, open-sourced and
assembled by everyone, and be used both in covid and post covid time.
A customer can select specific use cases based on their needs. Depending on the customer's need of data privacy, they can select their preference of sharing data. It is also optional for the customer to measure their head, in order to produce a better fit head ring. Based on all the information the customer provided, we can help them to select what face shield
The mask autonomously functions at individual, surrounding and regional levels. Through informal data collecting and processing to study the emerging social pattern and its interaction with the built environment under certain spatial restrictions. In this way, citizens themselves become sensors of the city and are able to report and potentially solve the emerging problems.

Open Source Device - Adaptive Wearable
Sensor Kit
A customer can select specific use cases based on their needs, it can either to be used to protect COVID, or for long-term post-COVID use. Depending on the customer's need of data privacy, they can select their preference of sharing data. For example, they can choose anti facial recognition, and whether they want the data of their own locations and activities to be collected, whether they want the data to be anonymous, etc. It is also optional for the customer to measure their head, in order to produce a better fit head ring. So based on all the information the customer provided, we can help them to select what face shield they need, what sensors they need, provide them a printable 3D shell model, and also the code they can use to DIY their device.![]()

User Interface
The user interface consists of three functions: customization of the product, uploading data and visualizing maps.

Function in Three scales: individual, surrounding and regional
Through informal data collecting and processing to study the emerging social pattern and its interaction with the built environment under certain spatial restrictions. In this way, citizens themselves become sensors of the city and are able to report and potentially solve the emerging problems.
Implementation
We used ultrosonic sensor and PIR motion sensor together to distinguish the human and non-human obstacles. And used micro servo to realize the openness of the face shield. In terms of the material selection, the first idea came to our mind is the transparency. As it is an open source device, comparing to the most of smart devices which hide their components in opaque plastic or metal, we hope to expose all the parts to the public.
