 My name is Emily Garcia. I'm an artist and I'm getting my MFA in sculpture. I've always been an artist. After graduating from high school I went to Cooper Union in New York City and when I was a senior I was hit by a truck while riding my bike and I lost my vision and it took me two years to finish my senior year and graduate. And I transitioned from being a drawer and a printmaker to being a sculptor. So this is a sensory substitution device. There is a camera attached to the nose of these sunglasses and attached to the sunglasses is this tongue piece that sits in your mouth and there's many like hundreds of little electrodes that will shock your tongue very gently and that will create the tactile sensation on your tongue that will then kind of translate in your mind's eye as vision. With the ballpoint pen in the pad I'm able to feel the texture when I'm drawing so I can feel the line and I can also feel it on my tongue with the electric shock of the brain port on my tongue so I can feel both at the same time and that helps me visualize when I'm drawing better.
