My view of the world

Ok, does this guy look weird enough for you.

The device he’s wearing if an echo locater that he built to show kids how bats see.

Here’s the abstract which bears the title “Experiencing Echolocation - seeing with you ears”
This is a quote from the abstract:

Here, the form of interaction—walking and using a new sense that is based on sound—is specific to the educational message and is not generic. The batgoggles have “bat ears” so that the devices, embodies the subject matter. Finally, any abstractions, such as the lack of true three dimensional localization cues are necessitated by technological limitations and not arbitrary.

Ok, Ok I’m done boring you. Click here to go to the page that tells you how to build your very own batgoggles.

Just click on the pictures at the top of the article and soon you too can walk around looking like an uber-geeky doofus.

They look like they’d be great fun, and in context they’re a wonderful idea, but if you wore them you’d still look like a doofus.

I wonder how long before they appear on the “Big Bang Theory” on CBS?
