About: Join us for a presentation and demonstration of Equine Eyes, led by Museum Educator Eric Ross. Equine Eyes is a hands-on research-driven interactive, playful experience designed to simulate how horses perceive the world. Utilizing a specially developed headset with mounted cameras, Equine Eyes provides visitors with an immersive visual and sensory perspective of equine vision. This technology highlights key differences in the field of view and color spectrum compared to human vision, offering a deeper understanding of how horses navigate their environment, leading to discussion about how horses experience the world.
