A Mask That Can Give You Superhuman Abilities

An anonymous reader writes "The students at Royal College of Art in London have developed masks that can increase your sight and hearing senses. They allow you to choose one conversation or one visual among a cluster of sounds and visuals, then hear or see the one which you want to. There are two masks developed by them: Eidos Vision and Eidos Audio. Eidos Audio allows a wearer to hear a specific conversation in a crowd and could be developed as a hearing aid and help ADHD sufferers. Eidos Vision improves vision allowing wearer to see 'time trails' similar to a timelapse photography."

With Eidos being the name, users will expect interminably long cut scenes in-between short spurts of actually being able to use the product.

I wonder if they could adapt the technology to filter out lobbyists whispering in the politicians ears.

And the rear camera is built into underwear, so if the pants are so low as to show the underwear, they need the raging geeks to attack en masse.
