Made of white plastic and shell-shaped, to adapt to any other device used to fight the Coronavirus, the «c-mask» was developed by Donut Robotics and will be produced from next September in 5,000 pieces | Courier TV
Called “c-mask”, the white plastic device – financed thanks to a fundraiser promoted on the Japanese crowdfunding site Fundinno and reached 28 million yen (equal to just over 230,000 euros) – will be produced starting next September in Japan and the first 5,000 units will be sold at a price of 3,980 yen (that is, 33 euros), while the cost of the translation service, not yet specified, will be added separately, through a monthly subscription.
The idea comes from the Japanese company Donut Robotics. It is a smart mask, equipped with an internal microphone to amplify the voice and record conversations and also able to translate what is said in eight different languages (English, Chinese, Spanish, French, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese and Indonesian) , through a smartphone and tablet app, to which it connects via Bluetooth.
