a web-based acoustic VR museum experience designed primarily for the blind and low vision community
While animals like bats are well-known for finding their way around by making clicking sounds and listening for their echoes, a subset of blind individuals has also been known to navigate and perceive objects using echolocation.
ArtEcho is a web-based acoustic VR museum experience designed primarily for the blind and low vision community. It reveals, through sound, the shapes and textures of different objects and artifacts in the Smithsonian 3D Digitization Collection using simulated auditory echolocation.
