Enhancing Vision: Smart Glasses Empower the Blind with Sound
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Neuroscience News
Researchers have developed "acoustic touch" technology, which uses smart glasses to translate visual data into distinct auditory cues, allowing individuals with blindness or low vision to "see" through sound. Trials have shown that these smart glasses significantly improve users' abilities to detect and reach objects, offering a new avenue of sensory augmentation and promoting greater independence and quality of life for the visually impaired.
