Check out his team's first product, a navigation device for the blind and visually impaired, and learn more about the entirely new "haptic language" he's creating to power it.

Interesting! I’ve never really be interested in tech but this is quite intriguing, if only it was a bit longer so I could learn more because I really would like to! But he did well, especially considering the video was six minutes.
