    Emilios Farrington-Arnas – Maptic – Tactile Navigation for the Visually Impaired

    28/09/2017

    Maptic is a system of wearable sensory devices for visually impaired people, consisting of a visual sensor and vibrating feedback units. These customisable, personalisable modules can be worn without attracting the stigma that current assistive products harbour, while still accurately detecting objects in the visual field and transmitting them into intuitive vibrations on the body.
