Humans have been using masks as a means of protecting the respiratory tract from external stimuli, and recently they have been used as devices to avoid viruses. Existing masks are used for one purpose of covering something. However, the blue mask can be opened and closed, allowing for selective customization of sensory experiences.
In other words, I regard the blue mask as a new skin, and it was designed to accept and reject various stimuli by overlaying it on the skin.
The mask is a wearable object, has holes and covers for all sensory organs such as the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. When all the covers are closed, the wearer experiences a sense of darkness and can only perceive the gentle touch of the soft material against their skin.
