Sight Gauntlet

A thought study and rapid prototype, Sight Gauntlet is a wearable sensory augmentation device.
Users wearing the gauntlet are given tactile feedback in the form of vibrating motors on the arm which relate to the distance from where they point their hand.
An array of vibrating motors on the arm mirror the distance, giving extra-sensory perception of the environment to the wearer. This project was a thought experiment, exploring how physical computing and wearable technology can augment and extend the day to day experience of a human being. It utilizes a very simple microcontroller, proximity sensor and motors to provide this simple interaction with the surrounding environment.
