In a system (10) and a method for interpreting visual information and
transmitting it to a human being through tactile influence of sensorial
organs in its body, the system has a sensor module (12) capturing visual
information; a control module (14), interpreting the captured information
and controlling a tactile actuator module (16) in accordance with the
interpreted information. An actuator module (16) transmits the
interpreted information to a human being by electro-mechanically
influencing sensorial organs in the skin of the human being, thereby
creating an image in its brain. An image is corresponding to the visual
information transmitted through the electro-mechanical actuator module
(16).
