Keith Kirkland, a designer and engineer, is pioneering wearable tech that uses touch to enhance navigation for the visually impaired. He discusses the concept of a new 'haptic language' to convey essential navigation cues like 'stop' or 'go' through vibrations. Kirkland shares insights from developing Wayband, a device that transforms tactile feedback into intuitive guidance, making everyday navigation more accessible. His vision explores the future of touch interfaces and their potential to revolutionize communication in technology.
