Eyeborg is designed with a head-mounted digital camera that reads different colors which reflect light at different frequencies. A chip at the back of the head transfers the frequencies into sound waves. Harbisson then hears the musical notes through his bones. With the latest design Harbisson can hear a total of 360 colors, more than the human eye. Sources: BBC, Daily Mail
