Inspiration

Aiding the visually impaired in experiencing visual art in a unique manner.

What it does

Converts images into unique audio files that help the visually impaired experience visual art.

How we built it

In Wolfram Language, we went pixel-by-pixel, row-by-row and assigned each pixel an instrument and pitch arbitrarily based on its colors

Challenges we ran into

Tuning it was particularly hard because neither of us are very knowledgeable about music theory, so we tried iterations until we came up with something that was usable.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of our ability to not only complete such a complex project, but publish it publicly for everyone to see.

What we learned

How to make music using Wolfram Language.

What's next for Images for the blind

In the future, we could make its audio more consistent/less jagged, possibly add more options to modify the input image (eg. a grayscale filter), and improve its performance.
