the point with the cybereyes i had thought up was that there had to be an
interface between the receiver in the ears and the display in the eyes, it
would convert the returning wave into a visual representation...sure, you
wouldnt see in great detail or be able to read or anything, but the shapes
would be there...if the data is converted to visual, then the brain would
have no problem with it...besides, close your eyes, listen to a bird
singing, and what do you see in your mind??? a car? no, a bird! there, now
you can see with your ears...
