Haptic Atlas

Haptic Atlas is a haptic navigation training system for blind and low-vision users. It combines a wearable vibration belt, a guide controller, and a web platform to explore how people can learn direction through touch. The belt delivers body-centered cues, while the website records sessions, route traces, testing data, and development process. Rather than treating vibration as a simple alert, Haptic Atlas asks how tactile feedback can become a learnable spatial language for movement, training, and future independent navigation.
