A switch in a conference room

I was using the vOICe to find the switch board in a conference room to plug-in my laptop. It was very tough especially since that part of the room was poorly lit.

A glass wall with a glass door

a transition image

I have attempted to show the transition between a glass wall and a glass door. I am in the door way of a balcony. I was trying to determine where the door way began. It is very tough when there is a glass wall and a glass door since you keep seeing the inside of the room.

Functional recruitment of visual cortex for sound encoded object

See the abstract of this study. If I understand things correctly, a late blind subject was subjected to TMS such that the areas related to vision were made temporarily inoperative. This user was unable to use the vOICe thereby indicating that the vOICe’s approach to sensory substitution is closly mapped to vision.

Controlling the vOICe remotely without changing focus from the current application

I have created a utility to remote control the vOICe The program is open source and you can read all about it at the following link.
vOICeCmdOne way to use the program is to create a shortcut to vOICeCmd and place the Image parameter on the commandline. You can then drop the link in the send to folder of Windows. After doing this, you can send images to the vOICe for viewing without swapping to it.
