My research concerns mobility aids for blind and low-vision individuals with the aim to increase independent mobility. I have a focus on both development and evaluation of such assistive devices in general, as well as of the Audomni project.

Within the Audomni project, a so-called sensory supplementation (or sensory substitution) device is being developed. A 3D depth camera reads the environment, the Audomni algorithms translates it continuously into sound — things from the left sound from the left, things further down darker, and things closer more intense, and vice versa — and the sound is played back in a pair of open headphones that does not block out environmental sounds.
