Specialists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have developed a prototype device that can help to navigate blind people . The system works by Sonar Vision similar to bats echolocation, but instead sounds used camera built into glasses. The information obtained is analyzed by netbook, or smartphone powerful enough, and, depending on caught on camera object is transformed into a different height and timbre of sound transmitted to the user through the headset.
After about 70 hours of training with the device, the user is able to distinguish between the building and person, the position of these and other objects in space, and to read some of the letters. Surprisingly, medical tests showed the awakening of brain activity in previously unused areas of a person in just a few hours of Sonar Vision use. This development, of course, will reach those who need it, and allow blind people to become useful to society and live a full life.
