In this podcast episode, we explore the fascinating link between design and perception. It highlights how strategies like dazzle camouflage used in naval warfare and the design of highways influence our experiences and behaviors. Experts discuss how bold patterns on ships in World War I confused enemy gunners, while the lengths of lane dividers on roads can alter how drivers perceive their speed. The episode also features an inspiring story about artist Richard Ancrum, who created a makeshift freeway sign to improve public safety.
