Voice Mask
Voice Mask is a concept wearable device that mutes what the user says aloud. Noise-cancelling technology is used to mask the voice by emitting the opposite sound wave. Voice Mask supports online meetings held in public places, such as a large office or a cafe. The device helps prevent the disclosure of confidential information and avoids disturbing other people nearby. In use, Voice Mask is worn around the neck and positioned to cover the mouth, in a manner similar to a harmonica holder. The foldable body is made by plastic injection molding and is easy to carry.
