Israeli inventors have developed a coronavirus mask with a remote control mouth that lets diners eat food without taking it off, a device they say could make a visit to a restaurant less risky.
A squeeze of a lever, much like a cyclist operates a handbrake, opens a slot in the front of the mask so that food can pass through.
研发人员在演示这种口罩时称,当叉子碰到口罩时,口罩可以通过机械遥控自动开启。当把叉子拿出来,口罩就会合上,就像给口罩装了一个“机械嘴”。

据彭博社报道,这款透明口罩原本用于聋哑人士的交流,不过如今也被越来越多的人使用。
A toothy grin with a stranger, a smile to a paying customer. In Italy, fashion company Dienpi is adding good vibes to safety, with their new smile-friendly surgical masks.
What began worldwide as an essential item for the deaf and mute, has now become the latest must-have for Italian businesses reemerging after months of lockdown.
Dienpi公司创始人、CEO多莉安娜·马里尼表示,这款透明口罩适用于所有人。

她表示,在这款口罩的帮助下,大家交流起来会变得更方便。除了语言之外,大家还能够通过手势、面部表情、唇语进行交流,比如来个飞吻之类的~

“Transparent masks are for everyone,” says Doriana Marini, CEO and founder of Dienpi.
“Anyone can use this device to have easier communication, not just with words, but also with gestures, facial expressions, lip movements….for example, to send a kiss (laughs),” she adds.
而当地的牙科保健专家阿黛尔·马蒂奥利也表示,自己的工作需要向病人展示牙齿,尤其是面对失聪患者时,这款透明口罩便相当实用。

For one dental hygienist showing teeth is key, especially for patients with hearing loss.
“Especially in my job when I try to explain tooth brushing techniques, the patient relies also on watching lip movements,” says Adele Mattioli.
问题3:戴口罩认不出人怎么办?
戴上口罩后,你是否觉得自己脸盲程度加重,常常认不出身边人了?
而印度摄影师比涅什·G·保罗则想出了一条妙计 —— 把脸给你打印在口罩上!

据《印度斯坦时报》(Hindustan Times) 报道,这款口罩上印的“人脸”比例大小与口罩之下的原本脸型一致,这下就不会有认不出人的尴尬了~

It is true that masks have become an integral part of our routine. But it creates many difficulties also — once you wear it, it is difficult to identify you because it covers the nose, mouth and chin completely.
A digital photographer in Etumanoor in Kottayam, Binesh G Paul ,38, has developed a unique mask to overcome this identity crisis. After wearing it others can identify you quickly since in the new mask, the covered portion will be superimposed on the mask as it is. Binesh elaborates on how this mask will be made.
比涅什介绍,首先他们会使用高像素的相机为顾客拍照,然后将照片用特定相纸打印出来。

然后,照片会被放大并裁剪下合适的部分,再用利用高温技术印到口罩上。

比涅什表示,制作这样一个“人脸口罩”仅需20分钟,单价为60印度卢比(约合5.66元人民币)。

“First we take a photo of the concerned person in a high resolution camera. Then we carry out sublimation printing and transfer the image to a particular paper. Later, the image will be enlarged and we cut the particular portion and superimpose it on the cloth mask with a high degree temperature. At times, we take the measurement of the chin,” he explained. A photo-imposed mask can be made in 20 minutes and it will cost Rs 60 a piece.
那么问题来了,这些新式口罩,你会戴吗?
