Giant speech bubble helmet to beat pub noise
If you've tried having a proper conversation with someone at a noisy pub, you'd understand the significance of the giant speech bubble helmet. The dorky headgear, designed by Scottish student Elaine McLuskey from the Edinburgh Napier University, is in essence a glorified astronaut helmet with three large circular cut-outs for your face and ears. By limiting the area of the background din and chatter outside the goldfish bowl over your head, the sphere is supposed to help you hear your partner more clearly. McLuskey has even come up with a "stationary" version with a headsized hole on either side. Her designs are being showcased at the Edinburgh Napier University's School of Arts and Creative Industries Degree show from now till May 23.
