Face masks are here to stay, and tech companies are keen to take advantage by offering us breathing protection well beyond what disposable face masks can achieve. LG just revealed its first serious attempt at providing us with “personal clean air.”
Using IFA 2020 as a launching ground, LG is introducing the PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier. It’s a face mask, but promises to provide a fresh supply of clean air to the person wearing it for hours.
