Georgia Institute of Technology researchers have developed wearable computing technology to help people learn how to read and write Braille.
Surprisingly, people wearing the glove don’t have to pay attention while learning.
“The process is based on passive haptic learning (PHL),” said Thad Starner, a Georgia Tech professor and wearable computer pioneer. “We’ve learned that people can acquire motor skills through vibrations without devoting active attention to their hands.”
