Tacit haptic wrist rangefinder turns you into a human bat

Tacit haptic wrist rangefinder turns you into a human bat

Ever wished you were able to live out the experiences of a bat, or even the superhero Daredevil, who gets around through the clever use of ultrasonics. Steve Hoefer's prototype Tacit haptic wrist rangefinder does just that, where you extend your hand (while wearing it, of course), letting the servos vibrate as you inch closer to an object such as a wall, while alerting you to stop or change your direction so that you do not end up with a broken nose or black eye. Needless to say, the closer you are to the stationary (or otherwise) object, the more pressure Tacit will put on your wrist.

Ubergizmo
