What is the LIGHTSOUND?
The LightSound device was designed and developed by the Harvard Astro Lab as a tool for the Blind and Low Vision (BLV) community to experience a solar eclipse with sound. The device uses a technique called sonification which is the process of converting data (or light intensity in this case) to sound. As the Moon eclipses the Sun during a Solar Eclipse the sunlight begins to dim and the LightSound device will output a change in musical tone. Holliday Lake State Park is one of only a few places in Virginia you can experience the eclipse in a whole new way!
