ANTHROPOMORPHIC SENSORY AUGMENTATION
How will the integration of Sensory Augmentation Devices change how we live?
We perceive the world by interpreting sensory information: sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell.
Human Enhancement technology is developing alongside a growing interest in expanding the senses; generating new devices that can push the limits of human perception. With the rise in popularity of wearable tech people are becoming more interested in knowing the health and fitness of their body - the Optimized Self. Developments in science and technology enable these devices to become smaller, more accurate, and will inevitably become implanted into your body.
ULTRASONIC INTRA-BODY COMMUNICATION
What if you could extend your sense of hearing so that you can hear your body, allowing you to have a more intuitive, real time knowledge of your health and wellbeing?
Ultrasonic Intra-Body Communication enhances your sense of hearing. This enables you to hear numerous devices that are implanted in the body, which are tracking and communicating your physiological health data. By appropriating the intuitive qualities of sound, this communication method allows for a more visceral connection to the information and therefore the body.
