About

Sunu Nek is an AR neck-worn interface using radar, audio, and haptics to assist the mobility and daily living of visually impaired users. Haptics informs the users of obstacles around them in real-time through vibrations while audio helps orient the user via GPS voice features. Starting with the blind, the Sunu Nek is the next non-obtrusive human computing interface that will be used by all. The future will be more like "Her" than "Ready player one".
