This is what I’m talking about! Haptic head sensor goodness. Mediate your reality by extending your highly adaptable senses. Sounds similar to the belt with vibrations which helped you know where magnetic north was.
Ever wanted some cat’s whiskers or insect antenna? Probably not, but check out this head-mounted haptic device developed by researchers at the University of Tokyo in Japan. It lets a wearer “feel” their surroundings from a distance, roughly as if they had several long whiskers sticking out of the head. At least, that’s what the researchers say.
