Provided is a smart mask system, including: an electronic mask, configured to use an electronic display technology to display images; an electronic device, interconnected with the electronic mask and performing data interaction with the electronic mask; and a server, interconnected with the electronic device and performing data interaction with the electronic device. The electronic device is installed with an application program, and interaction between the electronic device and the electronic mask or the server is realized through the application program.

An apparatus worn as headgear providing visual effects and vision to the wearer. The apparatus includes a shell or helmet. The apparatus includes an optical assembly mounted in the interior space of the shell adjacent eye slits or opening(s) to the interior space of the shell. The optical assembly includes an outer screen (e.g., a film of polymer-dispersed liquid crystal) switchable between a rear projection (RP) screen state in which the outer screen is cloudy or translucent and a transparent state. The optical assembly includes a backlighting assembly with numerous lights. The optical assembly includes a controller switching, at a rate greater than the flicker fusion rate, between a first operating state with the outer screen in the RP screen state and the lights on to illuminate the outer screen and a second operating state with the outer screen in the transparent state and the lights off.

A method and a device are disclosed including a face mask with a display configured to show downloaded images. The mask may include a display controller to convert a format of an image to a mask-format to allow display on the irregular shaped and possibly segmented display areas of the mask, and also perform other image processing and display functions such as pixel mapping and separate image coordination. The display controller may break up a single image into multiple sub-images to display on multiple display areas on the mask. One or more cameras may be deployed on the mask to acquire images, such as a facial image of someone else and display it on the mask, in effect, acting like an electronic mirror. The images displayed on the mask may be downloaded and controlled from an app on a mobile device such as a smartphone.
