Wearable Project Idea

Identity Mask Project

Concept:

This project is concerned with the idea of taking away a persons identity and replacing it with a new one using various masks that each represent a different persona.

Logistics:

The white mask will be worn at all times with the cloak, vest, and belt. The Three designed masks will be removable from the face and held with a holding pole use in use. The masks with be kept in the belt when not in use. The vest will hold the arduino board; it will be sewn into the inside of the vest.

Need for project:


Arduino board
