The Age Explorer

  • July 12, 2012 | Anna

    I loved visiting my granny – she was so much fun! Like many older people, she struggled with aches and pains, but she never complained.

    Now we can all experience the trials of old age. The Age Man Suit looks like a spacesuit – but it muffles your hearing, blurs your eyesight and makes it hard to bend your knees. Inventor Rahel Eckardt hopes that it’ll help young people to be more understanding of older folks.

    Sounds like a great idea to me.

The Age Man Suit – also called the Age Explorer – weighs 10 kg and makes even simple tasks exhausting.
