Wow, this sounds fantastically interesting! I wonder if a person born totally blind can benefit from such a concept though. If a person could see before, then they can be trained to associate the sound frequencies with the visual ones they have experienced in the past, and perhaps this way they can develop substitution of sight by sound. But what do you think about those of us like myself, who has never seen, not even colours, not even light and dark, from birth? Perhaps the best we can hope for with this concept is to make our own meaning association, purely based on things we already know in our world such as the crude association of objects by touch. I would think then we would have to learn how to illiminate all the other visual stimulae represented by sound, that we cannot relate to because they don't make sense in our world, such as colours and 3-D imaging Etc, which we only know as concepts rather than by conscious experience (in Sanskrit we refer to the difference between Jnana (theoretical knowledge) and vijnana (realization by experience).

Interesting discussion, thanks for bringing this up. Looking forward to more of the same.

Kind regards,
Yamuna Jivana Dasa

Anirudh, all,

I was talking about the vOICe. It is a program that converts live images to sound. You can then do pattern recognition in your head and determine what you are looking at.

The electrical signals that your brain gets when hearing these sounds are the same as those it gets when receiving light from organic eyes.

The vOICe works on the principal of sensory substitution where it replaces sound with vision.

There is no artificial intelligence involved.

Programs such as envision, supersense etc., use artificial intelligence to do things like object recognition.

You should think of artificial intelligence as a way for a computer to solve a problem and not as the adding of human like intelligence.
Pranav

SAS is another addition which I did not know.

Hi Asif,

In that case, the vOICe can be one of the tools you use. The only way
to determine this is to try.

Hi Asif,

Yes, the vOICe can certainly be one tool that you can use to run long
distance independently. What kind of terrain are you running on? We
will need to determine what kind of color contrast you have in your
environment so that we can identify visual landmarks.

Get the app on to your phone and try. There is a web version that
works on iPhones as well.

Pranav
