Is it possible to make face-worn safety gear that people actually want to wear?
For product designer, entrepreneur and venture capitalist Joe Doucet, fashion has a crucial role in the coronavirus crisis. It all comes down to one critical question:
“Face shields come in various forms, but all provide a clear plastic barrier that covers the face,” Doctors Eli Perencevich, Daniel Diekema, and Michael Edmond wrote in an April opinion piece for The Journal of the American Medical Association. “If I could adopt that common behavior and create a face shield that would be very desirable to wear, something that has a factor about it that you want to put on, perhaps we can achieve more mass adoption of this necessity,” he explained.
“I took components from different things and pulled them together, in order to create these realistic settings and scenarios,” said Doucet. “I tried to create the lighting exactly, to mimic where the sun was and the shadows. I bought 3-D models of the women — I can’t character model… And then I put everything together and modified it in the way that we know represented choices.”
