A new wearable is being designed in Finland that could soon help guide visually impaired people through their outdoor activities. Dubbed the Guidesense, the device is worn on the chest and can alert the wearer of potential obstacles through vibrations and voice feedback. The Guidesense works through short-range millimeter wave sensing, and unlike other wearables meant to assist the blind, this one can be worn in a low-profile way.
This wearable uses radar to help guide the blind
