[sci.misc] Sensory substitution

Hello there!

I'm working on a project that should finally yield some
kind of mobility aid for the blind.  Over the last few
weeks I have noticed that there is quite a lot of
research being done on this subject, but these separate
research groups don't know about each other.  Even in
Finland there are three groups (including mine), that
quite recently learnt about each other. 

Officially my project doesn't belong to the joint
European COST-project (#219?) on handicapped aids, but
I have already got some information from the
participants (Semiconductor laboratory/Technical
Research Center of Finland).  If YOU know someone who
is also working on this kind of project - handicapped
aids, electronic travel aids etc.  - would you please
ask that person to contact me via e-mail (or snail
mail).  I don't plan to steal anybody's secrets (or
give up mine :), but we could exchange at least some
general information, like references.  Co-operation is
still power, isn't it?
