Sensational technology: TEDTalks Playlist

October 3, 2010

Sensational technology: TEDTalks Playlist: “

Today’s playlist is about innovative technology that can enhance or even replace our ability to see, feel, hear, taste and smell. These speakers have each worked with one of our five senses -– and the results are truly sensational!

Josh Silver designs some funny-looking eyeglasses that can easily and cheaply match prescriptions for those in even the poorest villages.

Adam Grosser demos his low-cost and electricity-free refrigerator that can keep food cool — and preserve medicines — in remote corners of the world.

Dean Kamen’s new prosthetic arm can do everything your arm can do — and maybe more.

We’d love to hear more of your favorite TEDTalks about Technology for the Senses. Add your suggestions to the comments below, join the conversation on Facebook, or email contact@ted.com with the subject PLAYLIST: SENSATIONAL TECHNOLOGY. (Jog your memory with the TEDTalks spreadsheet.)

Curator of this playlist: Rachel Tobias
