Animal Superpowers Devices
by: trendlover February 28, 2008
Now you can undestand what it feels like to be an ant, giraffe, bird or any other exquisite creature. The new ‘animal superpowers’ devices from Chris Woebken and Kenichi Okada and Oxford Said Business-school, are sensory enhancement toys designed for children to experience the special senses of animals. For example, the ‘ant’ device simulates the sensory system of an ant: “feeling like an ant magnifying your vision 50x through microscope antennas on your hands”. Someone who played with this toy said he felt humbled by the ant device-he could not see anything around him but could perceive every tiny crack and detail of the surface he was exploring…
I wouldlove to go and try out these devices and have a completely different sensory experience. After all, nature did think of it first.
