Collaboration work of Chris Woebken, Kenichi Okada and MBA students from

the Oxford Said Business-school.

Animals have senses beyond human experience, for example they are able to

instinctively sense approaching tsunamis through feeling very low frequencies,

communicating through pheromones or can navigating through sensing

ultrasonic, electro or geo-magnetic fields.

Curiosity and exploration is one of the major desires of children. How would kids

feel if they could transform themselves to the same eye-level as adults or can

you even create an experience of being tiny, even as small as an ant.

Changing the experience also changes your relationship to the environment.

Would kids suddenly feel empathy with tiny animals? Is it even possible

to create new interface tuning into hidden animal communication

like pheromones or retrain senses that we have lost?

This is our series of toys transforming the self and extending and enhancing

our sensory range:

  • Ant – feeling 50x smaller
  • Bird – creates a new relationship the environment
  • Giraffe – child to adult converter
