New System for the Blind Substitutes Music for Sight
From Gajitz:
When a person does not have use of one sense, it is often possible to use a different sense in its place. That is exactly how a system called EyeMusic works: when worn by a blind person, it substitutes audio “soundscapes” for sights. The system was created by a group of researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem with the hope that it could eventually help visually impaired people navigate situations like grocery shopping more effectively. The system includes a camera attached to a pair of sunglasses and a pair of headphones that transmit sounds through the user’s skull rather than through the ears.
This looks really interesting. Explore the rest of the story here.
