NAVIGATION THROUGH FEELING
GPS navigation sandals for the visually impaired. Navigate your world through intuitive tactile guidance—no phone, no cane interruptions.
NavBead uses haptic abacus-bead arrays embedded in the sole to provide turn-by-turn directions through gentle pressure patterns. Walk confidently, feel your way.
THE WOW MOMENT
A blind user puts on the sandals, walks out their front door, and feels a gentle pulsing pattern on the outer-left part of their foot—they instinctively turn left and the pulsing shifts to center, guiding them seamlessly to their destination without ever pulling out a phone or asking for help.
Each bead activation represents a directional cue. Left outer beads pulse for left turns. Right beads guide you right. Center beads confirm you're on track. Navigation becomes instinctual, freeing your hands and your attention.
