There's also an amazing piece of software that is helping people who are blind, called the vOICe MIDlet. It translates live views from your camera phone (so it can be used on a Nokia N95) into sounds that you hear via the phoneâ(TM)s speaker or headset. So, basically, re-training neural nets, it can enable people to 'see' using sound. It's pretty fascinating stuff. You can read more about it here: http://www.seeingwithsound.com/midlet.htm.
