” Called the “Mobility Privacy Mask” and “Hybrid Silent Mask,” the face-worn accoutrements are designed to “absorb voice frequencies” in noisy environments like plains, trains and rideshares, Hersen says.

“Skyted’s solution is ideal for commuters, business executives and travelers anywhere,” Hersen is quoted as saying in a press release. “No matter how busy or public the location is, they can now speak in silence and with the assurance that no one nearby can hear their conversation.”

noisy environments like plains, trains and rideshares.

I dunno. Plains are usually pretty isolated and quiet.

A product that will allow me to stop hearing loud phone talkers in public? Awesome. Now can I please get a cannon that will fire these onto people’s faces? That’d be greeeeat

So Get Smart did it 60 years ago!

It's a ball-gag that uses NFC to communicate with their smart butt plug.

They sync (via wire or wirelessly) to a smartphone app that offers a pass-through toggle to pipe speech through the phone’s speaker — minimizing the need to remove the mask

I want to pipe this through a voice changer so I can sound like Darth Vader to anyone I talk to.

Can't wait to see ceos wearing muzzles.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Skyted, a Toulouse, France-based startup founded by former Airbus VP Stéphane Hersen and acoustical engineer Frank Simon, is bringing what look like a pair of human muzzles to CES 2024.

Skyted’s masks are built from sound-dampening material that Simon developed while at ONERA, the French aerospace lab — originally for jet engines.

They sync (via wire or wirelessly) to a smartphone app that offers a pass-through toggle to pipe speech through the phone’s speaker — minimizing the need to remove the mask.

On its website, Skyted advertises… unusual in-app features like a “voice awareness” mode that lets parents quiet their noisy mask-donning kids while they’re playing video games.

Skyted, in fact, pitches the masks as a more “immersive” way to play games and even has a section of its website dedicated to defense and military applications.

The scattershot go-to-market — coupled with the eye-watering $299 starting price and low-tech competition — doesn’t bode well for Skyted’s upcoming Kickstarter.

Honestly I am tempting to get one, we will see how they advance and if they lower prices because the ones I saw were plenty expensive.

I just need something mostly for the nights when gaming as my voice tends to involuntary rise when playing with people. That and maybe if I say weird/nasty stuff to friends that somebody could hear.....and specially without context could sound terrible.

In ~~space~~ voice frequency absorber mask no one can hear you scream!

I see the old movie kidnapping scene happening but sith this mask instead of a cupped hand to mute the victim

Now we need this in the bondage muzzle version
