我们正在开发一种模块化的电子设备，允许用户使用触觉刺激同时感知和响应多个空间信息源。这款可穿戴式“触觉雷达”的每个模块都像是一根人造毛发，能够感知障碍物，测量它们的距离，并在模块正下方的皮肤上传递这些信息作为振动触觉提示。我们的第一个原型(头带)为佩戴者提供了360度的空间感知，这要归功于看不见的昆虫般的天线。在一项原理验证实验中，有相当比例的参与者(87%，p=1.26*10-5)在没有任何事先训练的情况下采取行动，以避免看不见的物体从后面靠近。参与者报告说，该系统更有帮助，更容易，更直观。该接口的众多潜在应用包括电子旅行辅助设备和盲人视觉假肢，增强危险工作环境中的空间意识，以及增强摩托车或汽车司机的障碍意识(在这种情况下，传感器可能覆盖汽车表面)。
We are developing a modular electronic device to allow users to perceive and respond simultaneously to multiple spatial information sources using haptic stimulus. Each module of this wearable "haptic radar" acts as an artificial hair capable of sensing obstacles, measuring their range and transducing this information as a vibro-tactile cue on the skin directly beneath the module. Our first prototype (a headband) provides the wearer with 360 degrees of spatial awareness thanks to invisible, insect-like antennas. During a proof-of-principle experiment, a significant proportion (87%, p = 1.26 * 10-5) of participants moved to avoid an unseen object approaching from behind without any previous training. Participants reported the system as more of a help, easy, and intuitive. Among the numerous potential applications of this interface are electronic travel aids and visual prosthetics for the blind, augmentation of spatial awareness in hazardous working environments, as well as enhanced obstacle awareness for motorcycle or car drivers (in this case the sensors may cover the surface of the car).
