Abstract
We developed a tactile vision sensor, by converting light intensity from narrowband reflection spectroscopy into different stimuli such as sound. This creates the perception of colours though alternative senses. The device extends work done to develop a wearable sensor of erythema and shows the outcome from the collaboration between scientists and artist. It discovers new applications for existing research combining technology and design.
