Record Type: concept
optophones (<sound devices by function>, sound devices (equipment), ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Sound device in which a photoelectric cell is used to scan a text, which then produces electric signals that are converted into audible sound. The instrument today is generally used to enable the blind to read, although the device had its origins with the inventions of Austrian artist and Dadaist Raoul Hausmann in the 1920s, who was preoccupied with unifying the senses, and changing light into sound. It was patented in 1935 as a "calculating device".

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Instrumenten waarin met behulp van een foto-elektrische cel een tekst wordt gescand en omgezet in elektrische signalen die vervolgens worden weergegeven als geluid. Het apparaat wordt tegenwoordig voornamelijk gebruikt om blinden in staat te stellen te lezen, maar het had in de jaren 20 van de 20ste eeuw zijn oorsprong in de uitvindingen van de Oostenrijkse kunstenaar en dadaïst Raoul Hausmann, die zich bezighield met het verenigen van de zintuigen en het veranderen van licht in geluid. De optofoon werd in 1935 geoctrooieerd als rekenmachine. 
German ..... Tonerzeugendes Gerät, in dem eine fotoelektrische Zelle einen Text abtastet und daraus elektrische Signale erzeugt, die in akustischen Ton gewandelt werden. Das Instrument wird heute allgemein verwendet, um Blinden das Lesen zu ermöglichen, obwohl das Gerät seinen Ursprung in den 1920er Jahren bei dem österreichischen Künstler und Dadaisten Raoul Hausmann hatte, der sich mit der Verschränkung der Sinne und der Wandlung von Licht in Klang beschäftigte. Das Gerät wurde 1935 patentiert als ein "Rechengerät".
