In this project I created a platform that provides feedback for the tactile senses of people who are performing an activity, for example in cycling, where the field of vision is very focused and, therefore, limited.


I am showcasing an innovative approach for enhancing the safety of cyclists. My concept provides haptic feedback through the user’s hands. The concept is realised by a set of smart handgrips that create real-time awareness of approaching traffic and the environment.
