Just to see what it's like. But of course our hearing is a limitation. I'd like to see the day when we can find a couple of nerves and piggyback on them to transmit an image. Or even better, the sensory nerves. But I believe if we could project an image on, say, all the sensory nerves in someone's back, I'm sure it would be more useful than this thing. (But that would of course both be more complicated and require a higher learning curve for the user) Hmm, I’d like to try this for a few days even though my vision works perfectly.

It is hoped that sensory substitution systems can help handicapped people by restoring their ability to perceive a certain defective sensory modality by using sensory information from a functioning sensory modality. A sensory substitution system consists of three parts: a sensor, a coupling system, and a stimulator. The sensor records stimuli and gives them to a coupling system which interprets these signals and transmits them to a stimulator. Sensory substitution concerns human perception and the plasticity of the human brain; and therefore, allows us to study these aspects of neuroscience more through neuroimaging.</blockquote> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_substitution
