Brilliant Animal Eyesight Helmets

published January 8, 2015

We've often wondered what it must be like to be an animal. A dog, constantly happy and always on the lookout for moving spherical objects; or a cat, sleepy with a general sense of superiority.

These fantastic helmets go one step towards fulfilling our dream, by giving the wearer the sense of vision of a variety of animals. There's four of them, which put you in the goggles of a giraffe, a hammerhead shark, a horse, or a chameleon. Holes are positioned where the animal's eyes would be, and then mirrors are used to transfer the image straight into yours.

They've been designed by artists Anne Cleary and Denis Connolly and are currently on show in the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris until February 20th - head here for further information and in the meantime enjoy your humanview eyesight to the full.
