BBDO Bangkok, Kunana, Facebook Thailand and Tab Foundation launch VisibleTrack.com allowing blind people to enjoy music videos

For the first time, this AI-powered service enables blind people to 鈥榳atch鈥 any music video.

Just because the blind cannot see, doesn鈥檛 mean they cannot enjoy various forms of videos such as movies and videos on YouTube through music, dialogue and sound effects, which helps paint the picture in their minds. 

But there鈥檚 one thing that those who are blind have never experienced before, music videos, and since most music videos are mainly music and visuals that tell a story, for those who cannot see, watching a music video gives them no further enjoyment other than listening to the music track. Until now.

BBDO Bangkok, in partnership with Kunana, Facebook Thailand and TAB Foundation have launched , the first online service that enables blind individuals to enjoy millions of music videos that are available online. By simply entering the website with accessibility features, then copy and pasting any music video link from YouTube or Facebook Watch, the website uses AI to intelligently add sound effects to each scene automatically to help one paint the 鈥榮cene鈥 in their mind. To do this, the service utilises as many as 6 Ais, e.g. scene splitting, scene classification, action classification and object classification that work together on different tasks to help music videos become visible and universally accessible to everyone.

Additionally, the service also uses image-captioning AI and text-to-speech AI to generate audio descriptions to describe what鈥檚 going on in the scene. Alternatively, blind individuals can also use the Visible Track service via a messenger bot on the TAB Foundation Facebook page (@TNIBinfo).

When asked about the campaign, Napapatch K. Creative Strategist at Facebook Creative Shop Thailand said, 鈥淲e are proud that the Facebook platform is able to alter the world of the blind and change it for the better, making it more full of life.鈥

鈥淭he task of visualising music video for blind people is unprecedented鈥, shares Kunat Pipatanakul, chief technology officer at Kunana, 鈥渢hus we do not have any proven solution as a reference. We need to come up with a novel solution that is generalised enough to handle any music video out there. As a result, we have developed a cluster of multiple AIs. Each AI is specialised in different subtask that together they can provide a complete solution.鈥

鈥淧rior to this project, the art of music videos has never been accessible to the blind, but today鈥檚 technology enables us to reduce inequality and improve the quality of life for the blind,鈥 commented BBDO Bangkok鈥檚 CCO Anuwat Nitipanont. 鈥淰isible Track was not created to help blind people see music videos in the same way a person with vison would. But it is designed to give them an enjoyment of music videos as any person deserves. Like music, music videos are an artform which everyone should be able to enjoy as equals鈥, he concluded.

Here are some examples from the website: ,
