## What is HearLight?

What it does:

HearLight transforms brightness, saturation and hue into sound.

It lets you explore light, colors, and your environment by hearing how they change.

HearLight can also take photos. Explore by sound, double-tap to capture what you’re pointing at, and share it instantly, for instance with installed AI apps.

Switch between camera input and a color picker for getting familiar with the mapping between colors and sounds.

HearLight was developed specially for blind users, but it is a fusion of art, accessibility, and sensory expansion for everyone.
