Touch was the name of our project we did at MIT Meda lab's DIy workshop at Hyderabad. The aim of the project was to make blind people feel what we can see, even if the object is not present in front of them. I led the team of 5 members of Computer Science and Electronics background.
The kit had a Microsoft kinect to map a person's fingers, an I-Sense glove and a Laptop.
