Eyeborg App
Free AppAbout Eyeborg App
The Eyeborg app is a mobile application that places the experience of being a cyborg like Neil Harbisson into your hands. Listen to the sound of colours and create and share your own colour scores!
Features:
- Convert colour to sound, hear the colours
- Create sonocromatic art
The app intends to recreate the metaphor of the phone being Neil's "eyeborg". It enables the user to experiment through the phone the same sensations that Neil feels. What the app does is capture colours using the phone's camera, analyze them and transform them into a sound/frequency that will be played through the speaker. Capturing a few pixels from the center of the image, you are able to listen to all the different colours.

I am using this with my Note 3. The app registers some colors incorrectly at times- app saw green for grey, orange for green, and blue for white. I can see where underlying colors and colors of objects nearby could affect how things are perceived by the app as well as poor lighting. The clicking noise is horrible. Regardless of all this, I enjoyed the final result. Looking forward to trying this again outside on a sunny day. Also, I didn't see any of the notes named.

Great idea for me as a colour blind. But why doesn't this app TELL you the NAME of the colour?

Echos and other sound like a synthesizer that steps one tone to another harmonizing tone

But the result isn't particularly interesting. Turns out capturing a single color in the middle of one's visual field isn't particularly informative, who knew?

Love the experience of hearing colour, but I wish there was a way to save sounds as well as images! When you complete your "colour composition", you have the option of playing the sounds before you save, but you can only save a .png of the image. This is very frustrating - I see colours every day, but what if I want to save what something sounds like? Being able to pull up that image with an attached audio file within the app would be very helpful. I would also love the option to translate sound into colour

I wish there was a way I could tape this to my forehead and not have to point! Think someone more knowledgeable could put together a how-to to build your own head gear? Also, my camera detects the white of my walls as blue!--Nexus 4

Interesting experiment, but the app has some issues: (1) doesn't work on tablet in Portrait orientation, (2) there's an annoying "click" when the tone changes.

This app will give the colorblind the ability to perceive color and for those of us who aren't a new way of experiencing color. This is something everyone should use because it is revolutionary. Completely remarkable.
