Re: article about recognizing faces with sound
This is called the VOICe, though it looks like they might be using a custom version of the idea. You can already get apps to do this on Android and iOS, but you'll notice they never took off.
Thing is, this requires a lot of training, and it's usually just quicker to perform whatever everyday task you're trying to do with touch. Not to mention that using it for navigation is going to block out the external audio channels, you know, things like cars coming right toward you. Some people have had some success using it for navigation, but it requires *both* ears, so I have no idea how they can do stuff like safely cross the street (and can't actually think of an example of such-they all seem to be demos of "safe" environments like a garden). It's an interesting neuroscience finding though.
