COVID-19 has changed our world and has filled people with fear and anxiety. Everyone has a fear of coming in contact with people having the Coronavirus. In Spite of releasing full lockdowns, there is still a pressing need to maintain social distancing in the short- to medium-term to control the spread of coronavirus. Due to lack of self discipline or obviously pulling down the mask to get some fresh air, might pose a threat when you come near a person showing COVID symptoms. Abiding to WHO guidelines to avoid touching the mask while wearing it, we propose a wearable device for no contact pulling up of mask on face and additionally to implement social distancing with sensors mounted on the device. The SmartMask will detect if we are in the vicinity of any other person and will pull itself up. With sensors for detecting the closeness of objects around you and prompting you to take a…
