There's stories of blind people using echolocation to get around, so why not do a synthetic version of that instead of this made up encoding scheme (as cool as it is).
I.e. model how sound would propagate in an environment and create the sound an echolocator would actually hear reflected back.
- hammock 8y agoWhat I was getting at is that would be much more complex, because this uses a camera (2d), while echolocation/our ears is 3d when all is said and done. So to do what you're suggesting, you'd first need some way create a 3d model of the world from the camera's 2d image, and then encode into sound. At which point, echolocation is probably better.
