End date: 2008

Description: This project deals with the development of a wearable device (dark glasses with 2 cameras, portable computer, microphone, earspeaker, 2D vibration array, software, etc). It captures images from the surrounding environment, converts them into 3D representations and generates vibrations (on the user chest) associated with the distances of the user's head from the surrounding obstacles.
