Sensory Weaver Builds
This is a list of resources to external builds of hardware that can do sensory weaving. Be it studies from acedemia, companies, or makers/DIY hackers. An attempt to catalog, for future reference in design and iterations for others looking to explore the space of possibilities.
Professional
People, teams who actually know what they are doing and have hard studies, science to back it up.
The Voice
The vOICe a visual->auditory experience. See the world of edges, lights, textures and more over tones and pitch shifts. A symphony of visual information.
Seeing With The Hands
Seeing With The Hands Turns depth sensor data into electro-tactile display feedback. Scan around enviroments, feeling an outline of the world around.
Haptic Patches
Haptic Tactile Patches A trypophobia inducing haptic patch able to transmit not just vibration, but pinch, twist and more.
Neosensory
Neosensory (rip). Used to be a product sold to enable auditory->haptic sensory substitution. Bought out, along with 70+ things in the works. May see these arise from others someday.
Unfolding Space Glove
Unfolding Space Glove A glove-based sensory substitution device, giving depth information to haptic feedback.
FeelSpace Haptic Belt
Feelspace Belt A haptic compass, but as a product.
Haplets
Haplets: Finger-Worn Haptics finger based haptic feedback - mostly for VR, but also would work for sensory weaving.
Haptic Primary Colors
Haptic Primary Colors Enables a sense of colours to those even without sight.
TactorBots
TactorBots Modular mutli-haptic style system for exploring interfaces. Not quite for sensory weaving, but also again should work well enough depending on needs.
ThermalSense
ThermalSense Thermal->Auditory sensory augmentation device.
Seeing-Eye Shoes
Seeing-Eye Shoes Put distance sensors combined with ultrasonics fed to haptic feedback into a shoe? Why not!
Music Jacket
Music Jacket learn to play a violin via haptic feedback
Hackers/DIY
A bit more loose and exploratory, but that shouldn’t detract from the capabilities afforded, or perspectives found.
Lockpick mk2
Lockpick mk2 By Curiosiate, this wristband device turns modular sensor data into haptic feedback.
Visual Impairment Aid
Visual Impairment Aid turn ultrasonic distance into tactile vibrations.
Lodestone biomagnet tools
Lodestone biomagnet tools Open source biogmanet stimulation
Pigeon Belt
Pigeon Belt a haptic compass belt project
SomaOS
more resources when available - found in a biohacker’s discord group. Glove, hand/finger based.
NorthPaw
NorthPaw more compass related haptics - this time in an ankle bracelet.
BottleNose
BottleNose An ultrasonic distance sensor to haptic feedback device. Oldschool cool.
A Haptic Timekeeping Device
Timeekping Device Turn time into vibrations, gain heightened intuitive sense of chronology?
Haptic Compass Belt
Haptic Compass Belt get a sense of north via a belt, in a different style than the pigeon belt - more outputs for feedback.
Haptic baby monitor
Haptic Baby Monitor Turn the sounds of a baby monitor directly into vibrations, so that deaf or hard of hearing carers can hear the younglings.
Pathfinder
Pathfinder Ultrasonic distance sensor to haptic feedback for the blind.
Depth Perception Goggles
V1 v2 turn depth arrays into haptic feedback on the forehead.
Resources
These don’t quite fit under builds, but are still useful if working towards building a sensory weaver as a basic resource. (there is a lot in other areas of study that also play in, but that is for later)

These aren’t directly on a build, but more onto the usage of the devices. This may get split off into its own page eventually.

In conclusion, the findings reported here—specifically, the finding that comparisons that systematically reveal relations that remain invariant over sub-classes of otherwise probabilistic relational categories—add to the growing body of evidence that learning relational categories depends on, or is at least greatly facilitated by, conditions that lead the learner to discover relational invariants that predict category membership.
