The "Bioweapons" pitch is a little laughable, but as someone with allergies I'm still totally on board for the actual product and what it actually can do.

- jd20 11y agoAgreed, this has good potential for developed countries as well. Makes me wonder what the home equivalent of "bioweapon mode" is too, looking at the main filter in my home's HVAC system, it's certainly far from advanced...
- extrapickles 11y agoYou would also need to mod your homes HVAC system to pull in air from the outside so it can positively pressurize the house with filtered air as houses are very leaky[1], especially when doors are opened.

- Aelinsaar 11y agoExactly, in most cases it's basically just enough to keep the motors from being fouled with dust and debris. You could probably imagine an Uber driver, or similar livery driver offering hypoallergenic rides during the height of allergy seasons in various cities. Japan in particular might be all over this; they have a monstrous allergy season with people wearing full face gear!
