Nexus
About
Nexus is a device designed to bring the experience of interacting with a painting to the visually impaired.
The project was inspired by the possibility of evoking emotions through products that carry different sensorial elements. It detects colors and translates the information into corresponding sounds, allowing users to listen to what is visually expressed by a painting.
