LG has revealed its new battery-powered air purifier that you can wear on your face like a mask, to 'resolve the dilemmas' faced by wearers of regular face masks.
In the wake of the ongoing global health crisis, millions of us have followed a simple order to wear face masks in an attempt to save lives, with public health experts saying the evidence is clear that such masks help prevent the spread of the virus.
LG, which aims to resolve these issues with its PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier, which the company claims will ‘give new meaning to clean, personal air’.
So, how does it work? Well, the purifier uses two replaceable filters similar to what you’d find in the company’s home air purifier products, pairing them with battery-powered fans to help you breathe.
LG says the device has a respiratory sensor to detect when you’re breathing in and out, which will then adjust the speed of the purifier’s dual fans accordingly. These fans will speed up to assist air intake and slow down to reduce resistance when exhaling ‘to make breathing effortless’.
