The glasses that make you feel like you're on DRUGS

Показать описание
Ever wanted to sample the mild-altering effects of hallucinogenic drugs but don't want to break the law? Then these out-there glasses may just be for you.
A Hungarian artist has created ‘Mood’ spectacles that simulate hallucinations using patterned lenses, which can be rotated to create optical illusions.
The 3D printed frames look like a cross between John Lennon’s round spectacles and a pair of Elton John’s more extravagant sunglasses.
Each lens is based on optical effects such as the Moiré pattern - which relies on two transparent patterns being overlaid while displaced or rotated a small amount - and filters green, red or blue light.
Three lenses can be layered up at once and rotated so that patterns dance before the wearer’s eyes.
Unfortunately there is no footage showing exactly how a user experiences the glasses.
‘Rotated relative to each other, the vision is changing for the wearer,’ the artist writes on the Behance design website.
‘However, the individual patterns may be varied with others, so the number of variations – depending on the number of lenses – can be vast.’
‘Because each colour filters the incoming lights differently, and the patterns can overlap each other or leave blank fields, the new view is completely random and twisted.’
He designed the specs with the goal of making the experience of music listening to psychedelic music complete.
‘The ideal situation for use is during travel, when people listen to music, just looking out the window and watching the ever-changing sights, in perfect harmony with the music.
