37C3 - The Unfolding Space Glove
Learn how the Unfolding Space Glove, an innovative open-source device, translates 3D visual info into tactile feedback for visually impaired people, promoting sensory integration and potential brain reorganization.
- The Unfolding Space Glove is a device that translates 3D visual information into haptic stimuli for visually impaired people.
- The glove uses a 3D camera and motor values to provide tactile feedback to the user.
- The study found that users were able to learn the device quickly and proficiently, with most users reporting deep sensory integration.
- The glove has low complexity and low entry barriers, making it an accessible tool for visually impaired individuals.
- The study’s findings support the theory of embodied cognition, which suggests that the brain’s understanding of the world is derived from sensory motor interactions.
- The device has also been found to be effective in reorganizing the brain’s processing of sensory information, a process known as neuroplasticity.
- The project is open-source and available on GitHub, with a step-by-step building instruction provided.
- The device has been shown to be effective in navigating obstacle courses, with users able to complete the courses quickly and accurately.
- The study’s results suggest that the glove has the potential to improve the daily lives of visually impaired individuals.
