Abstract: The translator detects audio with the use of at least one microphone. The system analyzes the audio input to determine the spoken words. The translator determines the phonemes of the spoken words and outputs each phoneme to the user. The translator maps each phoneme to a haptic code that represents the detected phoneme. After determining the phonemes to output to the user, the system actuates multiple actuators to communicate the code to the user. The actuators contact the user to communicate the code associated with each phoneme of the audio input.

Abstract: When the sight impaired become mobile, they often bump their heads on unseen objects and/or hazards that could result in injury. The object detection device uses signal emitting proximity sensors that alert the user to unseen objects. The object detection device notifies the user of detected objects. Stimulators, such as actuators, produce a detected feedback to contact the user to warn the user that an object has been detected and the distance between the object and the user. Each actuator contacts the user at a specific contact point. The actuator contacting the user at a specific contact point informs the user of the distance between the user and the detected object.
