This application has real world applications for vision impaired people
(a full web cam computer vers. avaliable free as well)
It takes a shot and then plays a sound "histograph" with tone and volume and time showing height,brightness and postion left to right.(time)
It then repeats this again.
IT can also be set to say the nae of the colour it is pointing at.
this could be used to label areas, containters or other things so a blind person can hear what hes about to do .
The implications for reading signs etc graphs or for motion sensing by sound (in another room ) are realy fun to play with.
