The vOICe can do much more. It is a full blown visual prosthesis. I use it as my primary tool to take photographs.
It is indeed all about the brain interpretting images. You do need to learn a few tricks such as judging perspectives; as for the debate in the comments section, the community does indeed appreciate art. The photographer makes the offer of a bunch of pixels and if people like it, he creates more.
A fascinating article on augmented reality. The vOICe could be used to facilitate this process by helping the user point the camwra. The vOICe on the pc can handle OCR. It can also read shortcodes.

This is handy not only when using the vOICe but also when you have one of them senior moments so that you can see what part of the brain is forgetting. It could be interesting to then stimulate memory using TMS or something. Talk about mind control!
See this snapshot of the inside of the icecream counter / freezer at an icecream parler that serves Gelato icecream.
The smell is wonderful and the staff is friendly. The parler also serves pies from Greece.

A nice large image of the Hubble space telescope. I suspect the mirrors are in the foreground while their supports are in the background.

I cannot comment on musicians but listening to soundscapes does have me trying to find images when I am listening to songs
An interesting paper dealing with creating training regimes for people using prosphetic vision devices. As regards the vOICe, activities such as reading can be ignored until the user gains proficiency but the other activities such as going down a corridor that has large symbols painted on the walls can be carried out and are applicable.
