A software to increase the perception of the environment
The project developed from a start-up of engineering students from Emilia and the CERN in Geneva . The new system will help the blind to navigate with echolocation
Develop and train your ears to perceive and identify surrounding objects, “up to order to be able to shoot at goal or score a free throw in basketball, “explains Irene Lanza provocatively the CEO Soundsight Training, a start-up that developed the project together with the students of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia and the CERN Geneva. The innovative software has the ambitious objective of ‘giving sight to the blind’ with sound, using a technique that can also be adopted by the able-bodied to increase self-perception in the environment: in a word, echolocation.
The prototype of the software is ready and will soon be on line a campaign crowfunding platform Kickstarter with the aim of collecting the 250,000 euro necessary to develop the prototype and make it accessible to all. “If everything goes according to plan – explains Irene Lanza, 25, a student of engineering management from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia and councilor in Rio Saliceto with delegation environment and youth policies – from 2017 the software will be free and open source. In the world today there is a wide availability of technology, which is used primarily for entertainment. Our goal is, faithful to the Treaty of Marrakech, promote circulation and dissemination of accessible books. Currently the blind have access to a percentage of books estimated at between 1 and 5% of those on the market. ”
SoundSight Training is a virtual reality sound that simulates the interaction of sound with different scenarios, giving the opportunity to the blind to learn how ecolocalizzarsi in space
