SonarX – See-Through-Sound

SonarX is an tool that converts color information from still images or video frames into sound. It converts the hue, saturation and value parameters into sound parameters that influence the perception of pitch, timbre and loudness.

The tool has been experimented by visually impaired individuals, who confirmed that it can be used to give them information about the range of colors present in the images, presence or absence of light sources as well the location and shape of the objects.
