A real-life superhero mask that can boost the vision and hearing of its wearer has been revealed.
Created by students at the Royal College of Art, the masks contain sensors to augment the person’s sight and hearing.
The team behind the real-life ‘iron man’ mask hope it could be produced to help sports stars improve their game and in art projects.
The mask can show wearer’s ‘track’ of movement, allowing golfers to easily see how their swing can be improved, for instance, in a similar effect to long exposure photography
The audio part of the mask lets people ‘zoom in’ on speech nearby, neutralising background noise using built-in speakers and microphones.
HOW IT WORKS
The researchers have created too headsets to improve our senses:
Eidos Vision ‘enhances the way we see motion, achieving a similar effect to long exposure photography for live experience,’ the researchers say.
‘By detecting and overlaying movement, it allows us to see traces and patterns hidden to the naked eye.’
Eidos Audio ‘lets us hear speech more selectively.
‘It neutralizes distracting background noise and then amplifies the speech you choose.
‘It uses the principle of bone conduction that creates the unique experience of hearing someone speak right inside your head.’
There are two masks at present, one improving hearing and one for vision.
The face mask component has the ability to isolate sounds in a crowd and target people to listen in.
The researchers say this could be developed as a hearing aid, or even help ADHD sufferers.
