Digital Escape is another way into cyberspace

    © Designers from FROG Design have developed such a face mask that can replace what you saw, heard or felt with your nose for any other sensation.
    The future will not be as beautiful as it seems to us. Increased environmental pollution, overcrowding, poverty and climate change - the impact of society on Earth reaches a boiling point. And although we can work to slow the onset of these disasters, it is impossible to reverse them. The question arises of how we should deal with the problems that we themselves and created?
    I did not want to make any predictions - but if we are not able to do more to reduce today's cultural, climatic and economic dangers, the future may not be so pleasant. Natural disasters will become more frequent, society will stratify even more, diplomacy will become more unpredictable (variable).
    Technologies can be used to combat this dangerous situation - and also help to break out of it. We already use mobile devices to distribute films, music and other entertainments, with the help of mobile devices we "run away" from real life. Increased capacities and emerging technologies will allow you to store entire computing systems inside portable devices, providing greater immersion in personal media data. In the troubled future, these devices will offer a new dimension - a virtual layer that can be used as a shell for the dangerous world around. Being between the owner and the world around the device will become a virtual drug, allowing you to see the world better - at least for a moment. The device acts as a mask between the user and the outside world, expressing the integrity of the interaction of man and machine. The device makes a transition between the perception of the world as it is and as we would like to see it. The mask overturns our idea of ​​a “normal” world for us now.
    Wearing a mask, smells, sounds and even air quality will be imitated to recreate the full perception. The facial expressions of those who wear the device will be recognized and displayed on the screen in the form of avatars visible to others who also live under the protection of the mask.
