Luminophonics experiment: A user study on visual sensory substitution device.
2015
Loss of vision is a severe impairment to the dominant sensory system. It often has a catastrophic effect upon the sufferer, with knock-on effects to their standard of living, their ability to support themselves, and their care-givers lives. Research into visual impairments is multi-faceted, focusing on the causes of these debilitating conditions as well as attempting to alleviate the daily lives of affected individuals. One of the methods is through the usage of sensory substitution device. Our proposed system, Luminophonics, focuses on visual to auditory cross modalities information conversions. A visual to audio sensory substitution device a type of system that obtains a continual stream visual inputs which it converts into corresponding auditory soundscape. Ultimately, this device allows the visually impaired to visualize the surrounding environment by only listening to the generated soundscape. Even though there is a huge potential for this kind of devices,
