Abstract
A wearable electronic device comprises a housing, a feedback device, a depth sensor, and a processing element. The feedback device is located in the housing and configured to generate a vibration. The depth sensor is configured to generate a signal indicative of a current depth of the housing. The processing element is in electronic communication with the feedback device and the depth sensor. The processing element is configured to determine the current depth based on the signal indicative of a current depth and control the feedback device to generate the vibration in a pattern indicative of a rate of change in depth based at least in part on the current depth.
