Look high, look low: Teleport your head with this weird device

Tired of looking at the world from the same old perspective? Need a fresh take on things? A new point of view?

Well, you have less than two weeks to get your hands on an EYEteleporter, an outlandish, periscope-style device that will give you a unique perspective on the world.

Described on its Kickstarter page as a “periscopic mask that displaces your eyesight,” the device looks like something you would have found for sale in a ’60s comic book. Or maybe you would have discovered DIY instructions in Boys’ Life.

In fact, you could simply take a look at EYEteleporter creator Juste Kostikovaite’s plans and build your own, but your Kickstarter pledge supports his construction of an even-more-glorious contraption he is calling the EYEteleporter Scooter. The scooter looks like the type of thing people would be pushing around at Burning Man if the playa were actually paved.

For about 250 of your hard-earned dollars you can have your teleporter gussied up with some faux fur. So fire up your Apple Pay and get a new look on life.
