Original Abstract Submitted
systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for providing directions haptically such that sight and hearing can continue unimpeded. in one exemplary embodiment, a wearable device (such as earphones, ear rings, gloves, glasses, or other wearable objects) configured as disclosed herein receives directions to an intended destination for a user, the directions comprising a movement action and a distance to the movement action. the wearable device has multiple haptic output units and generates, through one of those units, a haptic output based on the directions. this allows the user to receive the directions through touch rather than looking at their mobile device or from audio.
