Anyone have heared the Audio Aquarium? Georgia Tech scientists have dreamed up a contraption called the “audio aquarium” as a way to let blind people experience sea life. The researchers say they wanted to help people with disabilities do something that’s more fun than functional.
The “audio aquarium” works through a camera that uses recognition software that tracks objects based on their shape and color. It then links each movement to different instruments that change in pitch and tempo as the fish patrol the tank. Fish that move toward the surface have a higher pitch. The faster they move, the faster the tempo.
