A downloadable Sonus Sense for Windows

Sonus Sense is a serious game that plays a pivotal role in a research project dedicated to determining if a gamified approach to enhancing spatial awareness is a viable solution for advancing the field of rehabilitation for blind or visually impaired individuals.

At its core, the research aims to prove that enhancing spatial awareness for anyone navigating with low vision or in low-light environments is possible. Our aim is to empower individuals to better understand and navigate their surroundings, particularly in situations where visibility is limited.

Sonus Sense harnesses the advanced technology found in modern game engines to create an immersive experience. The core focus of the game lies in utilizing sound as a primary means of spatial perception, training the brain to interpret auditory cues and discern the direction of sound sources. This makes the only requirements to play this game a compatible device and a good headset.

This innovative research initiative holds the potential to revolutionize rehabilitative methods for individuals who have recently experienced vision loss. By immersing players in an interactive environment where they learn to interpret and react to sound cues, Sonus Sense assists in acclimating individuals to the sensory intricacies of the world around them.

Join us in pioneering new pathways for rehabilitation and empowering individuals to navigate the world with confidence and independence.
