The inventor has created a new device called the “Eye-Borg” that allows people with visual impairments, and even total blindness, to experience the world in colour. The inventor has built a system that hijacks participant Neil Harbisson’s other senses by allowing him to see colour through his ears. It works with a head mounted camera that reads the colours directly in front of a person, and converts them in real-time, via a computer, into sound waves. The producer claims that the Eye-Borg creates “a new sensation, a cyborgian extension of the human perception system residing in both the brain and the hard-drive.” The translation of colour to sound is engineered with excellence in functionality, and usability so that the product was already integrated into the daily life of the colour-blind artist in its prototype version. Neil, also an artist and musician, previously only painted in black and white. Now he is painting in colour. The producer has created colour to sound conversion software that can dynamically scale the colours from a miniature wearable camera into audible frequencies. Instead of having one note per colour, Neil Harbisson is able to hear subtle differences in colour. He can now perceive 360 different hues, one for each degree on the colour wheel. Each hue was assigned an audible frequency between 384 and 718. Neil now has pure hue perception. He wears his “Eye-Borg” 24 hours a day and has a doctor certificate giving him Cyborg status.
