  • My name is Loren Brichter.

  • I invented pull-to-refresh.

  • I worked at Apple on the original iPhone.

  • I wrote a programme called Tweetie,

  • which was sold to Twitter, and became the Twitter client

  • for the iPhone.

  • I worked on a game called Letterpress.

  • And now, I'm one of the creators of the Ragmask project.

  • And can you tell me what that is?

  • What the Ragmask project is?

  • The Ragmask project is a set of extremely simple, extremely

  • fast-to-manufacture plans for face masks.

  • Why did you decide to do this?

  • We had a sewing machine.

  • And I tried following a few of the plans online.

  • And I'm not an experienced sewer by any stretch

  • of the imagination.

  • So we just developed something that

  • was much simpler to create, something that I could follow.

  • Like that was the design constraint.

  • Could I do it?

  • This is one of my first sewing projects.

  • I guess my philosophy is, I can't think about something

  • without using my hands.

  • I mean, it's the same with programming.

  • It's the same with fabric.

  • It's the same with wood.

  • It's the same with anything.

  • So if I can get some fabric in my hands and a sewing machine,

  • and you basically just like iterate

  • over and over and over and over again,

  • eventually good ideas will fall out of it.

  • And this particular shape of mask

  • just happens to be extremely easy to make.

  • And it fits pretty well.

  • It's not finished yet.

  • We have like two or three more versions coming.

  • And I'm thinking of it more as a technology product rather than

  • a garment.

  • We're literally versioning it.

  • We're up to version 2.2, 2.3 is coming tonight.

  • 3.0 is coming next week.

  • And they're each going to be refined in some way.

  • Do you have one of the masks there, by any chance?

  • I do.

  • I don't have one of the ones on the website now.

  • But I have one of the ones that I'm working on.

  • We're trying to make it even simpler to make.

  • Straps...

  • we can't find elastic.

  • Everyone's out of elastic.

  • You can't even buy it online anymore.

  • So that's why we call it a ragmask,

  • where literally, you can make it out

  • of rags, dish towels, sheets, old pillowcases.

  • So this one, where we're telling people, it's not out yet,

  • but we basically just put loops on the ends.

  • And then people can take shoelaces, or anything else

  • they have.

  • We're going to deliver masks without any straps at all,

  • and they're going to supply their own straps.

  • And it saves us a lot of time and material.

  • Can anyone make these masks?

  • And what do you need to make them?

  • Really, all you need is a needle and thread,

  • and some old fabric, any fabric.

  • A few people now have hand-stitched them.

  • It takes a little bit longer.

  • If you have a sewing machine, it goes a lot faster.

  • You really want to wear any kind of mask.

  • Even if you don't have a needle and thread,

  • there are tons of designs out there.

  • The CDC just put one up.

  • You can fold up anything with two rubber bands

  • and put it behind your ears.

  • I mean, that's more effective than nothing.

  • How do you know that these masks are effective?

  • A lot of the benefit isn't necessarily

  • the filtration ability of the mask.

  • Because you're not filtering the virus itself.

  • You're filtering out droplets, which are much,

  • much larger than the virus.

  • But you're reducing the radius of aerosols

  • coming out of your mouth and infecting one another.

  • We started the project before the CDC

  • and the World Health Organization

  • were recommending widespread mask use.

  • So at this point we're relatively

  • confident that they're effective in some way.

  • On the wider public perception of mask wearing,

  • can you talk a bit about that?

  • Whether you think everyone should wear them

  • outside or not?

  • I feel like most of the people watching this video probably

  • aren't wearing pants, because everyone's at home.

  • Like, no one can tell if I'm wearing pants right now.

  • But culturally, if you do have to leave the house

  • - which you should avoid - you would put on pants.

  • And I think the shift that needs to happen

  • is if you put on your pants, you should put on a mask.

  • And if you're the only one wearing pants,

  • that's not enough.

  • Everyone else needs to be wearing pants.

  • Everyone else needs to be wearing a mask.

  • You should get weird looks if you're not wearing a mask.

  • That's the way I think about it.
