Title:
Wearable tech that helps you navigate by touch
Speaker:
Keith Kirkland
Description:

Keith Kirkland is developing wearable tech that communicates information using only the sense of touch.

Check out his team's first product, a navigation device for the blind and visually impaired, and learn more about the entirely new "haptic language" he's creating to power it.
