How is it possible to see thread sound? Ingeneers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created a way to do so. Blind people are now able to perceive a face, identify objects, and even words through sound, using a revolutionary system called "sonar vision", which was based on the echolocation bats use.

The way it works is really simple: you inlay a video camera in your glasses which is going to be connected to your smartphone. This camera turns images into sounds that will be projected by your earphones and your brain would automatically make a mental image.

This is only useful if you were born blind.
