Mask is an exploration in physical design, wearable electronics, and metal forming. The main body is cut and bent from a thick sheet of raw aluminum shaped to fit the contours of the face.

Mounted behind the eye openings are two high density RGB LED matrices built on custom circuit boards. To resolve the issue of user vision, the boards feature an array of perforated micro-openings inspired by slotted sunglasses. This allows the wearer to see through the mask with ease while external spectators only see bright animations and graphic patterns.

The system runs on an external battery pack and a dedicated microcontroller. Integrated buttons and potentiometers allow the wearer to cycle through preprogrammed modes and adjust visual animations in real time.
