Frankenshoe: Vibrating shoe prototype for the sight challenged

netizens Students at the University of Texas have come up with a shoe covered in sensors that will vibrate once an obstacle is approached. The sensor nearest to the object will begin to shake — and the closer the obstacle, the faster the vibration. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/technolo…for-the-blind/ toeslayer
