Simulate madness in the comfort of your own home
As a big fan of mental illness, I was interested to read the article in Wired about a device that allows you to experience simulated schitzophrenia through a pair of headphones and a set of video goggles. Its aim is to give police and public sector workers a better understanding of those with mental health problems, but I’m wondering if there might be a consumer market. Given how deranged much of the media seems nowadays, surely it’s only a matter of time before a cheap home edition is released. Insanity as the next big thing in home entertainment? You heard it here first.
