Dear geeks with huge #respirator I saw at previous #FOSDEM ! Would you be kind to make a BOF session or a hallway track on respirators?

- Why are there no transparent masks (with real health protection) which don't obstruct face?
- What are the best masks for speakers?
- Are the cartridge respirators better?
- Where's the sweet spot between protection and public engagement (not making wearer look like biohazard liquidator or specops)
- When open hardware respirators, produced at hackerspaces?

"Dress code: N95"

Somehow the coolest projects go nowhere and leave no trace.

Those geeks was not me, but ok so I have a couple thoughts
1. Obstructing view of the face is a good thing for opsec, however it's bad for lip reading if thats what you are seeking.
2. Zimi mask is the most breathable, comfortable, and non muffling reusable respirator according to friends
