gollark: As far as I know stuff like detecting and tracking objects and generally converting the 2D input from eyes into a 3D worldspace thingy is quite hard, audio is mostly just fourier-transforming.
gollark: The visual system is waaay higher bandwidth and needs much more complex processing to do useful things with.
gollark: I feel like you may be underestimating the complexity of this, and I don't see why you need dedicated hardware to test this idea.
gollark: The traditional 5 ones are somewhat arbitrary.
gollark: There are other neat ones like the inner ear orientation sensor thing, which you could emulate with those cheap accelerometer/gyroscope modules.
