I see colour... He listens to clour

Imagine not being able to see in colour. It's something that most people take for granted. I've known only just a few who have partial colour blindness but never heard of people having complete colour blindness until I heard a talk given by Neil Harbisson. Harbisson suffers from Cone Monochromacy (A strang of colour blindness) and worked with a team of computer engineers to develop a technology to hear colour. His guides you into hearing just what his experiences are of meeting people; looking at their face and hearing their colour tone or looking in art galleries and being in awe of picasso's paintings.

Above is a comparison of what it's like to see in B&W
