Digital Escapism

Digital-Escape 01

Imagine seeing the world at its most beautiful, peaceful, and greatest regardless of what "reality" is. With increasing pollution, devastating wars, poverty, and climate change, human society may be turning for the worse. Although nobody suggests ditching any last efforts to fix our problems, no one can argue with the need to escape every now and then.

Frog Design's "A Digital Escape" is a mask that augments reality into a more serene place. You could look at a pile a rubble surrounded by death and see nothing but glorious sunshine; beautiful architecture set amongst a bed of dandelions. This virtual escapism provides a sort of virtual drug to make the world appear a better place even if just for a moment.

What a cool idea just the thing for boring train or bus trips to and from work and long flights

besides the rose-colored view aspect, those look really really HOT !

what a superb idea yet a stunning design! So fantastic!

this is awesome. But if you wear it on a subway people might get some wrong ideas about you. and you look kinda freaky.
