A audioakvarium for the blind.

Scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed audioakvarium for the Blind, transmits Associated Press.
In such an aquarium built camera with the recognition of objects by their shape and color. The program tracks the movements of fish, changing the timbre and pace of playable melody depending on the speed and direction.
Thus, the fish will be directed to the bottom, consistent with a higher sound. The faster floating fish, the higher tempo melodies.
People in the aquarium indicate that wanted to create a visual thing that would not be functional, as most of the devices, and entertained to the owner.
The developed technology allows you to track not only of fish. Inventors have tried it on the ant, animals and even children playing soccer. In the future they hope to use the technology in aquariums and zoos throughout the United States. One of the first may become the world's largest aquarium, Georgia Aquarium, located near the institute.
