Perception Headset
The Perceptual Headset is an interactive piece designed to transform the way we interact with the world by altering our visual perspective. Through a unique mechanical headset equipped with mirrors, lenses, and motors, it offers participants a choice to explore new views either independently or under the creator's guidance. The project aims to encourages us to question the familiarities of our daily surroundings and invites us to perceive them from entirely new angles.

Enhancing this interactive experience is the integration of a cutting-edge medical grade brain-computer-interface, EEG Headset, kindly loaned by the Austrian company g.tec. This innovative addition allows participants to control the direction of their gaze and choose their focus within their environment, using nothing but their thoughts. This interaction makes the experience more immersive by seamlessly blending technology and human perception. By thinking about where they want to look, participants can navigate their changed visual field.
