David Eagleman: If you look across the animal kingdom, you find lots of peripheral devices.
Snakes have heat pits with which to detect infrared, and the ghost knifefish has electro
receptors, and the star-nosed mole has this appendage with 22 fingers on it with which
it feels around and constructs a 3D model of the world, and many birds have magnetites
so that they can orient to the magnetic field of the planet.
What this means is that as we move into the future, we're going to increasingly be able
to choose our own peripheral devices.
Neil Harbisson: This electronic eye, it's a color sensor that detects the color frequency
in front of me, and sends this frequency to a chip installed at the back of my head, and
I hear the color in front of me through the bone, through bone conduction.
For example, if I have like ... this is the sound of purple.
For example, this is the sound of grass.
Tom Uglow: I worked with the Japanese agency, AQ, on a research project into mental health.
We wanted to create an object that could capture the subjective data around mood swings that's
so essential to diagnosis.
This object captures your touch, so you might press it very hard if you're angry, or stroke
it if you're calm.
It's like a digital emoji stick.
And then you might revisit those moments later, and add context to them online.
Most of all, we wanted to create an intimate, beautiful thing that could live in your pocket
and be loved.
David Eagleman: We no longer have to wait for Mother Nature's sensory gifts on her timescales,
but instead, like any good parent, she's given us the tools that we need to go out and define
our own trajectory.
So the question now is, how do you want to go out and experience your universe?
