When perceiving a scene visually we constantly move our eyes and focus on particular details, which we integrate into a coherent percept. Can blind individuals integrate visual information this way? Can they even conceptualize zooming-in on sub-parts of visual images? We explore this question virtually using the EyeMusic Sensory Substitution Device (SSD). SSDs transfer information usually received...
Graphical virtual environments are currently far from accessible to the blind as most of their content is visual. While several previous environment-specific tools have indeed increased accessibility to specific environments they do not offer a generic solution. This is especially unfortunate as such environments hold great potential for the blind, e.g., for safe orientation and learning. Visual-to-audio...
Visual-to-auditory Sensory Substitution Devices (SSDs) are non-invasive sensory aids that provide visual information to the blind via their functioning senses, such as audition. For years SSDs have been confined to laboratory settings, but we believe the time has come to use them also for their original purpose of real-world practical visual rehabilitation. Here we demonstrate this potential by presenting...
