The Challenge 

Exploring unfamiliar places is an exciting experience for most sighted people. However, for visually impaired and blind people, this experience is often more frustrating and mentally demanding than enjoyable.

The Solution

Nebula is an interactive belt that supports unfamiliar urban exploration for people with visual impairment by translating navigational data into haptic sensation. It allows users to explore places without constantly figuring out where they are going and where they come from. Nebula minimizes the fear of getting lost and relieves mental strain. Enjoy the exploration: Nebula always takes you home.
