FACING NAVIGATION DIFFICULTIES?
PAINTING THE WORLD WITH SOUND
We are working on providing a compact solution to ease your daily journey without sacrificing your independence.
About SoundSense
SoundSense comes from a small team in Sydney, Australia that is passionate about perception and simple solutions.
​
Our goal is to help people with visual impairment have an easier time understanding and moving around unfamiliar surroundings.
​
We are currently developing a compact worn device that plays in real time a soundscape of the environment back to the user. Watch the video below to hear more about the potential of this technology.
