SpiderSense

Nomination for Auggie Award: Best AR Hardware Creator: Victor Mateevitsi Organization: Electronic Visualization Laboratory, University of Illinois at Chicago =*=*=*= Description: SpiderSense is a revolutionary technology that may change the way we perceive the environment around us. Recent scientific advances allow the use of technology to expand the number of forms of energy that can be perceived by humans. Smart sensors can detect hazards that human sensors are unable to perceive, for example radiation. This fusing of technology to human’s forms of perception enables exciting new ways of perceiving the world around us. SpiderSense is a wearable device that projects the wearer’s near environment on the skin and allows for directional awareness of objects around him. The millions of sensory receptors that cover the skin presents opportunities for conveying alerts and messages.
