BACKGROUND Perceived spatial intervals between successive flashes can be distorted by varying the temporal intervals between them (the "tau effect"). A previous study showed that a tau effect for visual flashes could be induced when they were accompanied by auditory beeps with varied temporal intervals (an audiovisual tau effect). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We conducted two experiments to...

In the general smart home, system is an add-on to home automation and of systems guarantees human comforts like lighting, heating, ventilation, security. this proposed work, we have designed implemented a low-cost using sensor multiplexing technique which extendable, cheap, multi-faceted supported Node MCU (ESP8266). The sensors are used in detect various flammable gases with help MQ-6 (LPG), M...

Visual-to-auditory sensory substitution devices convert visual information into sound and can provide valuable assistance for blind people. Recent iterations of these rely on depth sensors. Rules converting (i.e., the sonifications) are often designed arbitrarily, with no strong evidence choosing one over another. The purpose this article is to compare understand effectiveness five sonification...
