An Experimental System for Auditory Image Representations.
Intended as a synthetic vision device for the totally blind.
Peter Meijer was born on June 5, 1961 in a small town named
Sliedrecht, The Netherlands, as the only child of Piet Meijer and Adrie Lagewaard.
Their house was built against a dike of the river the Merwede, a downstream
branch of Maas and Rhine, with the Biesbos tidal forest on the other side
of the river.
Peter's father worked in and around Sliedrecht as a pianist, conductor
and music teacher, with a passionate love for classical music and
playing the piano. Peter's mother was a teacher at primary schools in
Sliedrecht, with a spare time passion for drawing, painting and embroidery.
In August 1985, Peter left Sliedrecht to live and work in Eindhoven.
