EyeMusic Sensory Substitution System to Help Navigate World in Audio

Researchers at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel have developed a new, more intuitive way for blind people to perceive and interact with objects in the environment around them.  EyeMusic is a sensory substitution device (SSD) that converts visual input into audio output, and many have been attempted before. According to a study just published in journalRestorative Neurology and Neuroscience, EyeMusic is an effective system that users can quickly learn to use and that may one day lead to an effective interface for blind people.
