Really basic concept but helpful for in-city navigation for someone without sight. The downside is it works by using both channels in a stereo headphone setup, which means you are dulling your audial sensitivity to the area around you.
Something like this seems to be an even better concept in terms of addressing that.
I also wonder if this could simply be added to existing smartwatches.
