Some unexpected problems 7. How the device works TEKST A. Imagine being totally colour-blind, living in a word of greys, being unable to see the difference between red and blue or yellow and pale green. That's what life is like for Neil Harbisson. He was born with an irreversible condition called achromatopsia, or total colour blindness. That would make life difficult for anyone, but Neil os an artist - and the ancredible thing is, he paints colour. B. When Neil was an art student, he only painted in black, white and grey because that is all he saw. He was very dissatisfied with his paintings. But one day, a young scientist called Adam Montandon visited the college to give a lecture. The two met and when Neil explained his problem, Adam decided to try to find a way to allow Neil to 'see' colours using sound. C. Neil thought it was an impossible task, but Adam made a special device that let him 'hear' six colours. This is how is worked: light travels in waves, and different colours of light have different wavelengths. Red light has a long wavelenght and violet light has a short wavelenght. Adam used this fact to create a camera that measures the wavelenght of the light that enters it and then makes a sound that corresponds to the colour of the light. So, if the camera sees red, it makes a low sound, if it sees violet, it makes a high sound. D. Adam has now developed a much more sophisticated device, called the Eyeborg, that allows Neil to see 360 different colours. Neil wears a camera on his head, which is attached to a laptop computer in a backpack. The computer analyses the colour and sends a sound to Neil's wireless headset. It was a bit uncomfotable at first, but Neil soon got used to it. E. The Eyeborg has made a huge difference to Neil's art. He now uses a wide range of colours. If he wants to paint something, he points his camera at it and memorises the sound. Then he starts mixing colours, pointing his camera at the paint, and stops mixing when he hears the same sound again. Neil has had to memorise a lot of sounds, but he played the piano as a child and this has helped him a great deal. F. 'I've got used to all the sounds,'he says. 'It's noisy, but probably not much noisier than a busy city street.' However, it has created some unusual problems. People somethings think that he is videoing them and they don't like that. Security guards occasionally ask him to leave shops! But Neil is now inseparable from his Eyeborg and wears it all the time.
