If the adoption rate of wearable tech parallels that of tablets, in two years’ time owning a wearable device will be equivalent to owning tablets or smart phones
The device uses an Omnivision 5647 Raspberry Pi camera. With 5 megapixel fixed focus, this lightweight camera can take high-definition images and track 100 items at once. It can also track objects in motion easily with a speed of 50fps, making it perfect for the device as it operates in real time.
The Raspberry Pi is a powerful processor. This mini CPU can process information as fast as smartphones and its graphic capacities are equivalent to the original Xbox! It provides easy connection to the camera using a short ribbon cable, the camera connects to the Image System Pipeline (ISP) where the data is processed and converted in to an image or video on a SD card.
Current analysis takes pixels from the middle of your field of view, averages out the colour values and then map them to a desired sound frequency.
Harbisson’s Pure Sonochromatic Scale is a non-logarithmic scale based on the transposition of light frequencies to sound frequencies. The scale discards color as being part of a color wheel and ignores musical/logarithmic perception so it can overstep the limits of human perception.
A standard 3.5mm jack on the Raspberry Pi allows user to plug in any type of earphones. Now listen to your new, colourful world!
