Development of a visual information to auditory information transformation system for ambulation assistance

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Assistant equipment for the visually impaired has a white cane. If the information in the three-dimensional space is transmitted by sound, the blind can draw a three-dimensional space. OBJECTIVE: This study developed “Visual System,” an ambulation aid/guide for the blind that transforms visual-spatial information into auditory information, and verified its utility. Unlike conventional systems, which are in essence simple collision-warning systems, Visual Sys… Show more

“…Other sensory substitution devices transform visual information, such as obstacle distance, into auditory and tactile information. Kim and colleagues 52 developed a system that transforms visual information to auditory information and translated distance information into pitch such that closer objects emitted higher-pitched sounds compared with further objects. This allowed participants to recognize their surroundings successfully, reflected in their ability to detect and avoid obstacles.…”
