]]> Dominic Wilcox has many descriptions to his name; he is an artist and designer, who likes creating interesting things. He is also the inventor of the One Foot Taller Periscope glasses, which are a device that allows the wearer to see ‘one foot taller’ than their normal eye level.

“I was standing at a gig and turned to see a small woman dancing away but unable to see the band,” Wilcox shared on his personal website. “This gave me the inspiration to design a way for people to see over obstacles such as tall people like me.”

According to Wilcox, the One Foot Taller Periscope glasses are made from one sheet of mirrored acrylic bent. The inventor shared photographs of his creation on his personal website, Instagram, and Facebook.

I was standing at a gig watching the music and turned round to see a small woman dancing away but with no chance of seeing the act. This gave me the idea to design and make these 'One Foot Taller' periscope glasses. They are made by cutting and bending one sheet of mirror acrylic which I think worked out well after lots of tries. Microsoft Surface challenged me to think up some extraordinary solutions to everyday problems so I came up with this and The Directing Jacket on the previous insta post. It was shown at the Extraordinary Solutions for Everyday Problems exhibition at Truman Brewery, London 21st to 23rd May. #extraordinarysolutions #createdonsurface #dandad @surface_UK #Design #Invention #glasses #spectacles #periscope #creativity #creative #gigs #music #style
