this is (non)sense

What if...? assignment // week 12

Initial questions

What if the human looked by echolocating (like a bat)

What if we could only perceive by smell?

What if the device in the ear would help you see and vice versa, the device on your eyes would help you hear?

What if there was a device to increase the hearing from people who do have a normal hearing but want to hear the smallest sounds?

What if we train our other senses by taking one out?

What if we can create sounds without damaging our ears?

What if you could hear what your thinking out loud?

What if sounds could let you know how someone feels?

What if our thoughts would be played out loud on the speaker?

What if the bionic eye would actually allow you to watch the movies without having an actual screen?

What if you could turn down the volume of the people you were not paying attention to? (Så that you at a party or a café
could remove all the background noise and only listening to that one person)

What if the human ears could be moved 360 degrees consciously towards the sound

What if you could see how people are feeling?

What if you could choose in which direction to hear - and hereby also what not to hear from your surroundings?

What if you could project your thoughts (with your bionic eye)?

What if other people could see our thoughts? (Make it explicit)

What if we would be obligated to everyday practice our senses? What would training senses look like?

The fully analogue directional listening solution giving control over each ear individualy. If you can't have eyes in the back of your head you better have ears

The spy version. Made to control the direction and amplitude of the surrounding sound landscape with a 360 degress freedom. It even comes in a fasnionable design that blends into the wardrobe of the typical hollywood detective. what's not to like ?
