Beyond Human Perception: Designing for a Richer Reality
This lecture explores how human perception shapes our understanding of reality and how design can transcend these limitations. Drawing from animal sensory experiences, biohacking, and new technological approaches, the talk will challenge the traditional boundaries of mixed reality and propose new ways to engage with the unseen physical world. Join us for a thought-provoking exploration of design beyond human perception.
