The Null Device
2003/9/14
There are some tracks worth voting for in the Triple J Net 50; Love of Diagrams, Minimum Chips, Manitoba and Interpol are in the current one. So's an Architecture in Helsinki song, but it's not one I'm all that fond of. (There is such a thing as too twee, you know.)
Not sure if my vote will be counted, though, given that I put in my real age.
What do you get when you cross a mobile phone with a sensory-deprivation chamber? the Isophone:
"You can't hear anything else, you can't see anything else, you can't smell anything else, all you have coming in is the telephone call. "You can't feel anything because you're basically floating around in water that's heated to body temperature, which removes the distraction of gravity, and allows the user's body to blur into the environment."
"Whilst it's not necessarily very efficient, in many ways it's very pragmatic, in that the user will be totally focused on who they're talking to," said Mr Auger.
Perhaps this will be the new thing to have once Segways become passé. (via bOING bOING)
