dog_vision.jpgEver wonder what our crotch and butt sniffing canine friends see as they wander around the world? Hung-Chih Peng certainly did, so he created One Eye Ball, an exhibit (well, a helmet, really) that successfully brings our sight level down to that of a common dog--without all the crouching.

To do this, Peng affixed LCD displays approximately the size of eyeglasses inside the helmet and then connected them through a tube with a camera attached at the end. That trunk reaches to just below the knee of the viewer--precisely the height where a dog's eyes would normally be.

Inside the helmet, the LCD screens display what the camera records, effectively giving you--you guessed it!--"dog vision". Peng says that you can control the camera by hand or by moving the body and thus view the world from various perspectives. He also warns you may get dizzy.
