Surroundings Defend System

Wessel Westerveld, student at the Academy of Art AKI in Enschede (NL), designed what he calls “the weapon against boring and weary surroundings”.

The Surroundings Defend System” reclaims the attention of a public encircled by a growing number of stimulus and information and pushes to absurd limits the promises of virtual reality, community spirit or exchange by shutting off the user in a world totally disconnected from his surrounding.

The helmet is equipped with seamless vision diminishers, adjustable safetybelt, 40 Watt stereo speaker installation and standard compliant 3.5 mmm jack-plug for fully compatible audio-experience.

You no longer have to put up with people talking loudly on their cell phones around you and forget about studies on why such behaviour is so annoying.
