Entry Description

How can we navigate the world without sight?
Sensaura is an inclusive design solution to how blind and partially sighted people can navigate the world beyond vision. It communicates a spatial audio language through wearable technology to enable independent, hands-free travel of indoor and outdoor spaces. The wearable design proposes an integrated solution to enable detection, processing and feedback of environmental information needed for navigation. Sensaura has the potential to transform hands-free navigation for millions of people worldwide beyond just blind and partially sighted users.
