A lightweight wearable device helps users navigate with a tap on the wrist

Scientists have developed a fabric-based wearable device that ‘taps’ a user’s wrist with pressurized air, silently helping them navigate to their destination. The study demonstrated that users correctly interpreted which direction the device was telling them to go an average of 87% of the time. Since the wearable embeds most of its control system within the fabric itself, using air instead of electronics, it can be built lighter and more compact than existing designs.
