Scientists try to let the blind `see' fish

The eerie symphony comes from an "audio aquarium," a contraption dreamed up by Georgia Tech scientists as a way to let blind people experience sea life. The researchers say they wanted to help people with disabilities do something that's more fun than functional...

Walker and his colleagues hope to install their invention in aquariums and zoos across the nation. He has started talking with the Tennessee Aquarium, and he hopes to strike a deal with the world's largest fish tank, the Georgia Aquarium, which sits just down the street.

I bet that most of us would enjoy the experience too! Yet another reason I want to go back to the Tennessee Aquarium one day.

Very interesting.

Pica, have you ever been to the zoo or aquarium in Cincinnati? Really good ones here, especially the zoo!
