Clean is a protective suit for use in a future
pandemic. Its not only protecting the wearer but also functions as interactive
symbol of "Clean" for other humans that encounters the
wearer.
The suits plastic fabric is resistant to disinfectants, embedded moisture sensors keep track of last time the suit was disinfected, and based on a "Virus Forecast Report" via wireless internet it tells you its time to disinfect again by dimming the white light. The white light also has a role to play, by being the old mythic symbol of "clean" thereby easing other peoples fear.
A PIR sensor on the back warns the wearer if a human enters inside the "Recommended Social Distancing Area of 3 Meters" from behind by flashing a blue light on the shoulders. This also functions as a signal to the person entering to back of.
Model prototype only. Made by bubble plastic, plastic sheets, satin and LEDs. N95 mask and protective googles.
