This week and next week we look at some gizmos and gadgets from the Virtual 2021 CES Show! First up two gadgets brought about by the raging Covid-19 pandemic!
LG won an Innovation Award for their PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier. It’s one of newest parts of their PuriCare lineup with products for the home and commercial spaces. This device features two H13 HEPA filters to prevent up to 99.95 percent of harmful airborne matter. It has DUAL Fans and a patented Respiratory Sensor which allows users to effortlessly breathe pure, filtered air in almost any environment. The sensor detects the cycle and volume of the wearer’s breathing and automatically adjusts the three-speed DUAL Fans accordingly, speeding up when inhaling and slowing down to reduce resistance when exhaling. Extensive ergonomic facial analysis was used to ensure it can fit snugly on most adult faces. The built-in rechargeable 820mAh battery delivers up to eight hours of operation at low speed and two hours on the highest setting. Key components such as filters, inner cover, face guard, ear straps and strap extenders are easy to remove or replace. But wait, there’s more! The PuriCare Air Purifier Case features LG’s UVnano sanitization technology to eliminate 99.99 percent of harmful germs in just 30 minutes using UV-C LED lights. The case can also remove moisture from internal components caused by the wearer’s breath, charge the device from empty to full in just two hours and even send a notification to a smartphone via the LG ThinQ app when filters need replacing. It’s starting to appear in key regions including Asia and the Middle East and is expected to be available in the US toward the end of the year. But searching the web, I found it at the link below.

MaskFone – World’s First Face Mask with Integrated Earbuds & Microphone.
MASKFONE says it combines protection, convenience, and technology in one package. It features replaceable PM2.5 and N95/FFP2 filters, a built-in microphone, and earphones, reducing the need to remove your mask in public.

MASKFONE was designed to help reduce the need to adjust or remove your face mask to speak on a mobile phone in these situations. With the wireless headset, there’s up to 8 hours of playtime while listening to your favorite tunes or taking calls. The says with its powerful bass these headphones provide superior sound quality and feature smart touch controls for convenient use while on the go. MASKFONE is not an FDA approved product and makes no claims of antimicrobial protection, antiviral protection, particulate filtration, or infection prevention or reduction. This product is not intended for use in a medical setting. Check their website for more details. MSRP $49.99 Available now.
