I also never had that same intensity of conviction about smart masks that Glass wearers must have done, partly because of professional scepticism but also because it is big and bulky. Most people will want to stash the mask, when they’re not wearing it, in a bag or rucksack rather than wear it uncomfortably around their neck. I had to make a certain amount of preparation to wear a mask which, by definition, makes it feel unnatural.
Having worn the Zephyr for a week while walking and on public transport, it is generally comfortable and its adjustable strap fits around the head well.
At £99.99, the Zephyr is more expensive than other masks, and a pack of 10 filters is £29.99. A reusable half mask respirator, meanwhile, costs around £20, with the filters costing around £8. The mask is designed to be water resistant for small splashes but is not recommended for wet weather conditions, which is not ideal for Britain’s unpredictable weather; and taking the mask off when wearing glasses and wireless headphones can turn into a battle to keep everything on the head, especially for those with longer hair, compared to a mask that hooks around the ears.
During testing, the companion app for the mask only worked when provided with location tracking information – deny that permission, and it became unusable. A Razer spokesperson said that this was only used for the beta test and, when the mask is available, the app will not require location data to work.
