Abstract
A wearable device generates haptic feedback around a 360 degree range for indicating an audio stimuli. The user/wearer receives the haptic feedback for indicating a direction from which the audio stimuli emanated. A helmet housing the device includes vibratory elements arranged in a circular frame responsive to microphones around an outer perimeter of the helmet. The frame fits snugly over a user's head, and upon detection of a distal sound by the microphones, computes and activates vibratory element corresponding to the source of the sound. The vibratory elements are arranged in a circular array, and a signal processor is particularly tuned for detecting a sharp sound such as gunfire or munition explosion. Successive sounds are followed by the haptic feedback as the user turns their head. In a tactical environment, the frame may be mounted inside a helmet and the microphones placed around the outer helmet perimeter.
