Head-Mounted Haptic Antennae
This story is from the category Sensors
Date posted: 23/09/2007
In one of the strangest attempts at augmented reality, researchers at the University of Tokyo in Japan have invented a head mounted haptic sensor.
It uses a series of infra-red sensors positioned around the device at intervals. These act as invisible antennae. When one of them bounces off an object in their path, a tiny motor buzzes in that area of the user?s head, telling them there is an obstacle that way. What they do not do, is say how far away the obstacle is.
