Hunter's comment

Unfolding Space uses a series of specialized cameras to generate 3D image of objects, then through vibrations in the hand, it alerts the wearer of the presence of the object. How far the objects are is determined by the strength of the vibration.

How does it work

The “Unfolding Space” project deals with sensory substitution: A phenomenon by which the function of one missing or dysfunctional sensory modality is replaced (substituted) by stimulating another one. The outcome is a prototype that projects a 3D picture, generated by a special camera, as vibration patterns on the back of the hand.
