Pictures[edit]

This article is not a very good treatment of the subject because it has no pictures of the tools and equipment used. This article desperately needs pictures.

Merge[edit]

I believe Seeing with your ears should merge into Sensory substitution. "Seeing with your ears" is simply a tag-line used by a particular company for their particular sensory substitution device which is already mentioned in this article (i.e. vOICE). Any objections? -AED 04:31, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Seeing with your ears is pure spam. Maybe mention it here, or just delete it. I'm going to go ahead, since nobody objected in months. Dicklyon 22:44, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Haptic Soundscape Maps?[edit]

Something should be said about Haptic Soundscape maps and such. Though they are relatively new, they are relevant. I can't explain more here, but Google it and you'll find what I'm talking about.Jedi Shadow 17:55, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another device[edit]

I just want to propose a link to a description of a device I developped (TheVibe ;-)) See [1]

Optophone[edit]

I'm not a wikipedian, so I'll leave this up to somebody else to include or not, but it's worth mentioning that a Dr. Fournier D'albe invented a device in 1914 that used selenium photocells and what sounds like mechanical scanning to convert the dots of printed line from a book into sounds when the book was laid flat on a slab for reading. This is essentially a pre WWI AVSS system, as far as I can tell. For those who are interested, search JSTOR for "Optophone" or seek out Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Containing Papers of a Mathematical and Physical Character, Vol. 90, No. 619 (Jul. 1, 1914), pp. 373-375 and The British Medical Journal, Vol. 1, No. 3146 (Apr. 16, 1921), p. 574. --68.32.37.109 (talk) 01:34, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Reference 25[edit]

I was unable to fix this, but the reference in Ref 25 which reads:

^ a b Rise RR (1999). "Strategies for providing upper extremity amputees with tactile and hand position feedback – moving closer to the bionic arm.". Technology and Health Care, 7:401-409.

Should be changed to

^ a b Riso RR (1999). "Strategies for providing upper extremity amputees with tactile and hand position feedback – moving closer to the bionic arm.". Technology and Health Care, 7:401-409.

The misspelling of the author's name made it difficult to find the actual article and seems to have propagated throughout the web. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.107.73.100 (talk) 23:11, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for telling us! I now fixed this. With friendly regards, Lova Falk talk 12:05, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
