Ideas:
As the school does not require students to wear masks, the ‘facial’ changes brought about by the epidemic are about to fade, and we can once again see each other’s faces. That’s a good thing for most of the people afflicted by the pandemic. It’s just that the end of one thing always makes people feel a tinge of emotion, and it may be difficult for people in the future to understand the experience of wearing a mask all the time, and the experience of not even taking a sip of water in order to prevent infection. So, I want to record data about masks to memorize the 2 years people have been with masks.
随着学校不强制要求同学佩戴口罩，疫情带来的面容上的变化即将褪去，我们又再一次能看到对方完整的面容。这对大部分被疫情折磨的人来说都是一件好事。只是一件事物的结束总是让人感叹唏嘘，或许以后的人很难体会到时时刻刻需要戴口罩的体验，为了防止感染连水不敢喝一口的体验。于是，我想记录下有关口罩的数据，以此来纪念人们和口罩作伴的2年。
I recalled my experience of wearing a mask. When it is cold outside, the heat in your mouth will be wrapped in the mask and cannot be dissipated, thus forming a damp vapor in the mask. I think that’s a form of masks being there.
我回想起我带口罩的体验，当户外很冷时，你嘴里的热气会被口罩包裹住无法散去，从而在口罩中形成湿漉漉的水汽。我觉得这就是口罩存在的一种形式。
So I plan to make masks with transparent materials to show the water vapor created by people, and use this water vapor value as the degree of connection between people and masks. I might use the humidity sensor to sense the amount of water vapor, and then use p5js or other forms as the output to tell people their water vapor value.
于是我打算用透明的材料制作口罩，以此来展现人们创造的水汽，并将这个水汽值当作人们与口罩之间的联接程度。并且用湿度感应器来感知水汽的多与少，再使用p5js或者其他的形式作为输出，告诉人们他们的水汽值。
The data I track is the connection between people and masks. Maybe it’s the length of time you wear the mask, or how many times you talk while wearing the mask.

How it works:
Input: the fog/vapor in the transparent masks
Sensor: Humidity Sensor
Output: patterns on P5js; LED lights that can pop up on the head; headgear that sprays fog on the head…(still thinking about the output)
