Maptic Wearable Guides with Vibrations

Aug-05-17 The Maptic wearable guides the visually impaired with haptic feedback vibrations.

Designed by graduate student Emilio Farrington-Arnas, the Maptic wearable is made up of a small visual sensor worn as a necklace, which communicates with a network of smaller units attached to clothing or worn on the wrist. As the visual sensor monitors the environment, it communicates with a paired smartphone to trigger the smaller units to vibrate and direct the user through the obstacles.
