The Unfolding Space Glove (37x27)

Air date: Dec 27, 2023

The Unfolding Space Glove transmits the relative position and distance of nearby objects as vibratory stimuli to the back of the hand, enabling blind people to haptically explore the depth of their surroundings. The talk will give a brief overview of the design research project, from the first prototypes to an empirical study and its publication, and provide insights into the underlying hardware and software.
