Episode Ten: You Know the Vibes! (with Keith Kirkland)
Listen now
Description
Tolu and Kristina talk about haptic technology with co-founder of WearWorks, Keith Kirkland. Visually, the colour red signals 'stop' or 'danger', but what is the haptic equivalent of red? Does it exist? What can a multisensory experience look like with haptics as the lead, and visual and auditory technology as the enhancers? How does psychology inform the engineering process of a product like the Wayband, a product which helps the visually-impaired navigate the world with vibrations? Toward the end of the episode, they touch on why failure is the best opportunity to learn and improve. The term of the episode or TOTE is Haptics/Haptic Technology.
