Our project aims to provide a vibro-tactile guidance system for intermediate blind and deaf skiers with minimal guide skier contact. The guidance system involves a handheld controller used by the guide with directional input. These directions are sent to a receiver which vibrates to indicate the direction the skier should travel.
