airMorphologies: A Wearable Device for Social Interaction in Air Polluted Environments

A facial mask, as part of the daily outfit for people living in an air polluted environment, has become a barrier for social interaction and self-expression. airMorphologies, a pneumatic wearable device, shapes our body language and the manner of social interaction. Controlled by users' voices, airMorpholgies allows two users to interact and express when they wear the shape-changing devices. By changing their appearance, users gain a novel way to communicate and socialize with their new body language and expressions.
