Information processes in nowadays society are accelerating more and more. The desire to quickly withdraw from this continuously flowing stream and relax for a short while is becoming ever stronger. Today people are expected to be available permanently. Therefore many would like to consciously step out of the stream of information at certain times.

Overstimulation in public space can nevertheless be contained: our concept to do that is called ecocoon. Incoming acoustic stimuli are eliminated on purpose while signals of the body will be emphasized, if desired. By choice, high, middle or low frequencies may be filtered out of the environmental noise. The user might even completely shut off all background noise: in this mode ecocoon makes audible to the bearer his own pulse and breathing. Focus is led from the outside to the inside. Successively slowed down respiration and pulse-beating make it possible to calm down and temporarily retreat into a kind of virtual cocoon to be “offline” for a while.

IT’s never going to be more quiet than a completely custom made ear-plug, or even an earplug with “2 silicone-caps”.. only diference is that you can alter the sound/volume with a button instead of having to change the filters.

P.s.

Still a great concept though!!
I would work on REALLY making a perfect fit, then this would be killer =)

Wow this is really something!
When is the produkt released / available in the shops.

Tiny remark: I mis the mode that suppressed the low bass sounds. Because when I’m stressed the bass sounds make me more stressed!

Future feature for this cool gizmo add a mini usb port (or wifi) to connect it to the computer so the user can download it’s personal frequency band (like the old-school stereo equalizer:-)

I say: It’s time to get this gadget to the people!

how to buy it? I love this concept!!!

A great product! Would it be possible to make it fit to help people with tinnitus (buzzing in the ears)? Maybe when there is a large range of frequencies you could ‘delete’ with the ecocoon a person could search for the frequencies he has trouble with. I also think this could be a great help for persons with autism who are very sensitive for specific sounds, thats why they plug their own fingers in their ears. Would you mind consider the possibilities it has for both groops of persons? Thanks!
