See ColOr: an extended sensory substitution device for the visually impaired [PDF]
Journal of Assistive Technologies, 2014 Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to overcome the limitations of sensory substitution methods (SSDs) to represent high-level or conceptual information involved in vision, which are mainly produced by the biological sensory mismatch between sight and substituting senses.

Visual Echolocation Concept for the Colorophone Sensory Substitution Device Using Virtual Reality [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 Detecting characteristics of 3D scenes is considered one of the biggest challenges for visually impaired people. This ability is nonetheless crucial for orientation and navigation in the natural environment. Although there are several Electronic Travel Aids aiming at enhancing orientation and mobility for the blind, only a few of them combine passing ...

Bilateral vestibulopathy treatment: update and future directions
The Egyptian Journal of Otolaryngology, 2016 Bilateral vestibulopathy or BVH is a disorder of both labyrinths and/or vestibular nerves which have various etiologies. BVH is most often a chronic condition in which patients can suffer from blurred vision (oscillopsia), impaired spatial orientation ...

Tactile devices in sensory substitution systems [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1985 An overview of the research on tactile aids for the deaf, blind, and deaf-blind will pay particular attention to the problems of encoding the environmental signals in ways that the skin senses can interpret them efficiently. Following a brief summary of the early approaches to the development of systems for sensory substitution, there will be a closer ...

SoundSight: A Mobile Sensory Substitution Device that Sonifies Colour, Distance, and Temperature [PDF]
Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces, 2019 Depth, colour, and thermal images contain practical and actionable information for the visually-impaired. Conveying this information through alternative modalities such as audition creates new interaction possibilities for users as well as opportunities to study neuroplasticity.

A Survey on Outdoor Navigation Applications for People With Visual Impairments
IEEE Access, 2023 Outdoor navigation remains a challenging activity for People with Visual Impairments (PVI). Having examined the current literature, we conclude that there are very few publications providing a nuanced understanding of how PVI undertake a journey in an ...

Recent Developments in Haptic Devices Designed for Hearing-Impaired People: A Literature Review
Sensors, 2023 Haptic devices transmit information to the user, using tactile stimuli to augment or replace sensory input. People with limited sensory abilities, such as vision or hearing can receive supplementary information by relying on them.
