Descripción
This R&D project implements a new way of perception of the
three-dimensional surrounding space, based exclusively in sounds and
thus especially useful for the blind. The innate capability of locating
sounds, the externalization of sounds played with headphones and the
machine capture of the 3D environment are the technological pillars used
for this purpose. They are analysed and a summary of their main
requirements are presented. A number of laboratory facilities and
portable prototypes are described, together with their main
characteristics.
