JabberMask

JabberMask was a planned wearable computer face mask that uses LED lights to allow its wearer to smile in a manner, despite wearing a mask. The mask was developed by game developer Tyler Glaiel. An early, unnamed prototype gained considerable attention online after Glaiel shared it on his personal Twitter account,[1][2][3][4] and WHO listed it as a "COVID-19 innovation" on their website.[5] Although Glaiel initially stated that he had no plans to sell the mask and encouraged others to build their own, positive press led him to launch a Kickstarter campaign, where he successfully raised over $70,000 to fund mass production.[6][7][8][9] The mask is powered by an Arduino computer.[10]

In November 2021, Glaiel announced that the project had been cancelled due to supply issues at the factory they were working with, and said refunds would be sent to Kickstarter backers.[11]
