Abstract
A sensory substitution method includes obtaining a color image by using a sensor device, converting color information about the color image, received from the sensor device, into tactile information by using a user terminal, and generating a tactile stimulus corresponding to the tactile information received from the user terminal by using a tactile output device.
Claims19
A sensory substitution method comprising:
- obtaining a color image by using a sensor device;
- converting color information about the color image, received from the sensor device, into tactile information by using a user terminal;
- and
- generating a tactile stimulus corresponding to the tactile information received from the user terminal by using a tactile output device.
A sensory substitution apparatus comprising:
- a sensor device configured to obtain a color image;
- a user terminal configured to convert color information about the color image, received from the sensor device, into tactile information;
- and
- a tactile output device configured to generate a tactile stimulus corresponding to the tactile information received from the user terminal.
A sensory substitution method comprising:
- obtaining an image displayed in a first color space by using a sensor device;
- converting first color information, included in the image received from the sensor device, into second color information displayed in a second color space and converting the second color information into tactile information by using a user terminal;
- and
- generating a tactile stimulus corresponding to the tactile information received from the user terminal by using a tactile output device.
