For blind people, it is very important to give accurate location indication. They also need to use GPS to navigate. However, if the blind people are in a very noisy environment, it is very difficult to hear the instructions of mobile phone clearly. Therefore, I designed a reminder on the back of the mobile phone which is suitable for the vibration of the palm. The reminded navigation position is like a compass, which can accurately vibrate the palm of the user. The user can move forward according to the vibration prompt from the palm of his hand, and the closer he is to the turn, the greater the vibration. The vibration frequency will increase until the user reaches the turning intersection, reminding the user that he needs to turn. If the user goes in the wrong direction, the special vibration frequency will remind the user to stop. Blind people can accurately determine the direction through the vibration of their palms in the use process. And along the vibrating direction, there will be a feeling that someone will lead them forward.
i really like the idea of using vibration as feedback for blind people. nice work!
Love the idea and cute sketch! Yes, blind people are more sensitive in hearing and touch, so the design in these area is very practical and valuable.
Nice use of haptic design to guide a blind person when sound is interfered with a noisy environment!
