“White Cane” Hololens Application Helps Blind See via Sound

Microsoft Hololens has allowed developers like Javier Davalos to experiment with applications that can help the blind “see” their environment using sound. While this is just a prototype, it does offer a brilliant use in clinical utility for Hololens.

About Microsoft Hololens:

Microsoft HoloLens is the first self-contained, holographic computer, enabling you to engage with your digital content and interact with holograms in the world around you. Specialized components—like multiple sensors, advanced optics, and a custom holographic processing unit—enable us to go beyond the screen. It is currently only available to developers.
