Sensorium Synesthesia
Current sensory augmentation technologies focus solely on enhancing existing senses, neglecting the potential for cross-sensory experiences and individualized sensory profiles. Individuals often crave richer, more personalized sensory input but are limited by their inherent biological capabilities.

Premium subscription unlocks advanced customization tools, broader sensor integration, and exclusive synesthesia "packs" created by artists. Ad-supported through data integration. Eventually, a blockchain token incentivizing the creation and sharing of new synesthetic profiles.

The Solution

Sensorium Synesthesia allows users to create and experience custom synesthetic profiles by mapping digital data streams to their senses. The core technology involves a wearable device that uses micro-stimulations to induce specific sensory perceptions based on real-time data. Imagine feeling the stock market's volatility as a specific texture on your skin, or hearing the weather as a personalized color palette.

Confidential Investment MemoEuropean Rationalist

"While I appreciate the attempt to disrupt the senses, I struggle to see the path to profitability beyond a niche market of hobbyists. The unit economics are frightening, and I fear the ongoing R&D will bleed capital without achieving sufficient user adoption. It's a fascinating concept, but not a sensible investment at this stage. I'm out."
