A virtual reality headset can allow you to experience life through a second-person perspective.

British performance artist Mark Farid always wanted to spend a month to live like . another person. Therefore, he set up a campaign on Kickstarter to finance his project called 'Seeing-I' . If he successfully calls for $ 235,000, he will use a virtual reality headset through which he can experience life through the eyes and ears of another person for 28 days.

Under the plan, the second person chosen will be a gay man, without any relationship with Mark. The other will wear a pair of secret glasses with video and audio recording equipment. This secretly recorded video will then be worn and experienced by Mark. Mark will only live in an area consisting of a bed, a toilet and a shower.

In other words, whatever the other person experiences in life, Mark will also experience it all . 'Seeing-I' is a bizarre project, it can leave psychological impressions that change Mark's life. However, he was still willing to experiment because he wanted to answer the difference between 'natural' and ' nurturing'. He wanted to know, human behavior programmed by genes or new environments is the impact on each person's character.

This project may have affected Mark

Therefore, in 28 days, if Mark had an expression of forgetting the identity of 'Mark' but believed in another personality, it could shed some light on human behavior. To get the most accurate result, Mark will only be allowed to use the shower, toilet, bed and eat when the other person does the same. You will eat and drink exactly what the other person eats and drinks. You can move, but not much.

In preparation, Mark met a psychologist throughout the year. Another psychologist will also work with Markk in this project. However, there are also concerns that Mark will be psychologically affected and may never return to his current self.
