Neosensorys

Neosensory is a company that develops and produces sensory substitution devices. These devices aim to provide individuals with sensory impairments, such as blindness or deafness, with alternative ways to perceive information. The core technology behind Neosensory's products involves translating sensory data from one modality into another that can be perceived through the remaining senses.

One of their prominent devices is the "vOICe" system, which converts visual information into auditory signals. This system uses a camera to capture images, which are then processed and translated into sounds that are delivered to the user through headphones. Over time, users can learn to interpret these sounds as visual information. Another area of Neosensory's focus is on haptic feedback, where touch is used to convey information. Their devices can translate various sensory inputs, like sound or touch, into patterns of vibrations on the skin, allowing users to "feel" information.

Neosensory's mission is to leverage technology to enhance human perception and create new possibilities for individuals with sensory challenges. Their research and development are rooted in the principles of neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to adapt and reorganize itself. By providing alternative sensory input, Neosensory aims to help the brain create new neural pathways to interpret this information, effectively expanding the user's sensory experience. The company's work contributes to the growing field of assistive technology, seeking to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities.
