Operation Bat aims to create a new sense, similar to sonar, using open technological devices. The goal is to use a glove that is able to measure distance by ultrasounds and that can offer haptic feedback in real time to the person wearing it.
The idea is that this device might enable blind people move more comfortably and for those not visibly impaired to be able to experiment space in a new way without using their sight, the way bats do.
