Echolocation / Bionic Bra
Description
Daniel Kish is blind but his ability to "see using sound" is remarkable. His use of echolocation to effortlessly get around using mouth clicks has earned him the nickname "Batman." Now, researchers are getting a clearer picture on the way his brain turns sounds into images and it's redefining our understanding of vision. Also, most bras are designed for aesthetics, to look good. Even a sports bra can be uncomfortable at times. But what if a bra could respond when you need more support, and relax when you don't? A team of Australian scientists has done just that- they are designing a comfortable, high-tech "Bionic Bra" that provides the right amount of breast support, when you need it.
