1) Image as Interface: Memory augmentation / Pain control / Exploring evolutions of form and form function relationships.
2) Can we use visualisation to enable ‘experience communication’ rather than traditional ‘information communication’. Context Engineering: Move away from augmented reality to sensory augmentation – allowing us to play with the materiality of the senses.
3) Macroscopic Visualisation.

2) Context Engineering: 3D Movie ‘Hugo’ Cured Neuroscientist’s Stereoblindness
Bruce Mcnaughton had lived his entire life “stereoblind”, which meant he was unable to perceive depth correctly.
This new effect stayed with him after he walked out of the theatre, because unlike most regular moviegoers, Bruce had been unable to perceive everyday objects with accurate depth.

FlyVIZ headset - 360-degree super(vision)
Giving users the power to see all around them at once. What does this mean?
15 min for brain to adjust. No nausea.
The FlyVIZ can only give you 360-degree vision: you must choose how to use it.

Creating entirely new senses – Neil Harbisson can hear colour with a prosthetic device.
London Metropolitan University Learning Technology Research Institute
Artist Neil Harbisson is completely colour-blind so he create a device to allow him to see colour.
Simple device transforms light waves into sound waves using a webcam, computer and a pair of headphones with software that would translate any colour in front of me into a sound. £50
At the beginning he experienced strong headaches because of the constant input of sound, but after five weeks his brain adapted to it.
“Changed the way I perceive art. Now I have created a completely new world - currently working on seeing ultraviolet, which is very important because it can damage our skin.”

Oculus – Among the Sleep
Among the Sleep, where players experience the world through the eyes of a two-year-old child.
Things seem bigger — you'll need to look up to see a doorknob, for instance — and all you can really do is stumble around like a toddler, walking or crawling away from danger.

HYUNGKOO LEE – Objectuals
Re-imagining what already exists and using perspective to shape reality instead of changing reality itself is something that intrigues me.

3) Macroscopic Visualisation
• The macroscope effectively provides the overview and the local point of view of the research object simultaneously.
• Within one field of view, to be both in the world and to see yourself in it. The power of looking through, and occupying, your own field of vision.
• Look across data sets and turn every object of study into a file in order to discover patterns and rapidly reframe understanding.
