It’s a reusable mask with replaceable filter element, it’s better for our environment by reducing face mask pollution.

At first, the designer wanted to use a curved display screen inside the mask, unfortunately, this material is too costly, making W-3E an expensive face mask. Inspired by a cinema projector, he tried to add a small projector inside the mask that could project multiple emoticons set up through a smart phone.
