A rambling attempt at a condensed overview of the topic and general gist of how and why this technology works, plus some tangents.

Not so much an overview of the device itself (old design already), but the concepts to lay groundwork for the explorations ahead to share.

It's hard to describe the usage and feel vs perspectives and information gleaned had via this technology. (At least until I get artsy more with video effects, descriptions)

So many questions to ask. Not just of how to improve designs, different form factors, software – rather of cogntive applications and mapping the space of perceptions, perspectives possible.

Could we learn to listen to tree communication via gas sensors?
How about feeling a "bubble" while driving for safe braking distance for speed?
Maybe just ankle bracelets to never trip over cats again. Who knows!

The space of possibilities is large, and having more people outside acedemia fields asking questions can help progress our ability to take new perspective.

So there is some attempts at introducing terms to help make shorter connections of all the interconnectedness of perception, from sensory to conceptual to biological and so on. These are loose, and not set in stone, but rather a way to jump back and forth symbolically over many fields.

Also, sorry for the quick timing on some of the graphics, and the overall quality of them – didn't want to put too much work in before getting feedback to help clarify them further for better usage 🙂

So feedback, questions and so on are appreciated – do the explainations come across alright?

Currently working to have something people can more easily DIY with off the shelf parts as a wiring diagram and parts list, plus some basic software to filter the perceptual manifold a bit.

    I like the style! Very sudden and abrupt introductions of tones, solid rhythm line, fun melody! If anything, maybe add some more organic sounding percussion in certain high-freq beats. A blend of tech and time.

    Similar to how microscopes and telescopes allow more perspectives into reality, this sort of technology and others from the fields of sensory substitution, expansion and addition allow us to peer into things in new ways.  Ask even weirder questions about the self, or reality.  (Made up of living agential problem solving cells? Weird idea until we could see!)

    Not to mention the other sorts of weird augmentive/cybernetics possible.

    Very babble fish, or Star Trek’s translators. I like it.
