Popis: Sensory substitution devices allow cross-modal interactions with the environment, however controlled training and quantitative evaluation of cognitive skills development remains challenging. We describe the main advantages of the virtual reality systems in context of developing and assessment of sensory substitution skills. We propose VIRCO - a virtual reality training and evaluation system, which enables remote, automatic experimental setup and data collection. VIRCO utilizes Colorophone sonification method, which provides non-verbal information about color and distance. Our system enables detailed control over a complicated training process of multiple participants, allowing for stimuli to be easily designed.
