Wearable Tech
The Sixth Sense Ascot is a lightweight wearable designed to enhance the wearer’s comfort and awareness when in a crowded space. It features ultrasonic sonar sensors pointing to an area outside the wearer’s field of vision and vibration motors nestled beside the wearer’s neck. The vibration motors pulse at a rate which varies according to the sonar sensors’ readings giving the wearer a sense of the physicality of the space behind them which they cannot see.
