I got nerd sniped by a great comment in a previous video. The idea was to make some kind of device to let blind people perceive their surroundings. The specific suggestion was to make some kind of a vest. Ultimately I ended up making an iPad case that uses the sensors in the iPad to perceive the surroundings and communicates through tactile feedback via a special hand grip. It was a fun project and turned out pretty neat.

I use a 13" iPad for all my technical drawing: amzn.to/2RKOnyL

Father to a blind son 6yrs old, turned blind 1,5yrs ago. He “watches” (listens) to his iPad regularly. Have been following your channel but this one I had missed, came up as a recommendation. People like you (and your supporting wife) gives me and my family hope that with tech everything is possible! And to all of you saying that a cane still is better, no, not to a kid that also wants cool tech! Thank you!

The fact he can engineer these things including not only design but also fabrication, software development, AND video editing in anywhere close to 100 hours is mind boggling.

My late father tried to do something similar to this 15 years ago. The final objective was to help blind people, but since he worked in aerospace, the first prototype was to have a warning system for astronauts so they could "see" on their backs with feedback through a vest. It never got past the part of cheking sensitivity, kinda like you do at 5:15... But yeah, it brings me memories.

When I was a kid and I heard the word "engineer", I would picture a person like this. But in my life, I haven't come across such an all-round engineer like this.

I love how the top screen of the monitor layout always has some funny Amazon product on it. Makes the coding moments that much better.

You should combine the tactile feedback into a walking stick. This idea is good for big objects but people can easily trip over curbs or small objects and bumps on the road. Blind people will still want a walking stick to sweep, it'd be good if they had a further "sight" to improve distance.

Dude, I sponsored several engineering student teams to do something similar to this 10 years ago. I stuck with an array of tactors (pancake motors) spaced 2-point-discrmination distance apart, and gave each tactor 3 bits of "depth" using PWM and current control. Note that a typical vibrotactile response scopes to only 8 JNDs (Just Notable Difference) so 3 bit depth just about covers what we can hapticly perceive. My initial designs were like yours, which morphed into a different form factor. According to my physiology research, I figured I could get a 64 tactor array. Not much but my form factor theoretically pushed the performance of that significantly. Sadly, this is one of my main back-burner projects that has not yet completed to a decent prototype stage. Sigh.

He’s like a combo of “tech ingredients” and “Applied science” all packed into what seems to be a 30 year old Mark Rober. Can’t get enough!!
