I've been wanting to make a vr application for a while that lets you navigate around n dimensional structures with ability to control which dimensions you are moving in.

Also the concept of perceptual extension is interesting, feed in a bunch of additional information and present it in a consistent way until the brain begins to incorporate it in it's world model. e.g. add additional senses.

That sounds like it would be very interesting. And while we can't extend our senses just yet, we may be able to swap them. I'm very curious if anyone has tried to use a space-filling Hilbert curve to transform vision into audio and let their brain adjust to it like suggested in this video https://youtu.be/3s7h2MHQtxc

Interesting idea. My understanding is that some of the seeing impaired community does use echo location tools to help navigate. There were also some pin grid tests in the past that effectively gave the seeing impaired the ability to see again. Which is one of the things that got me to thinking about interesting ways we could extend our senses.
