Surgical Masks with Your Face Printed on Them So You Can Still Unlock Your Phone @djbaskin
Danielle Baskin, the “viral artist” and entrepreneur known for her drone sweaters and laser-branded fruit, has come up with a clever idea for satisfying facial recognition software while wearing the common N95 surgical mask. She’ll print the area of your face that the mask covers with an image of that area onto the masks.
Like most of Danielle’s work, this is both something of conceptual/high-tech art and commerce. She plans to eventually allow you to upload an image of your face and buy masks with your face printed on them. But she plans to wait for the current worldwide shortage of N95s to be over.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
