Vibrating Glove Uses Ultrasonic Echolocation To Help The Blind, Nottingham University Study

Two manufacturing engineering and management students from Nottingham University have developed a glove that uses vibration signals to alert blind people to the proximity of objects.The SenSei Glove, developed by students Raivat Luthura and Serkan Oztas consists of a glove with a velcro attachment, onto which an ultrasonic sensor is fitted. The sensor system measures the distance of the visually impaired wearer from an object and gives feedback to them in the form of vibrations of differing intensities, depending on the wearer’s proximity to the object in question.
