# Tactile Object Awareness Systems The 'Sensus' System Provides Spatial Awareness for the Blind By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-06-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensus References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2018/06/20/simple-object-sensing-tech-for-the-blind/) & [grazinabockute](http://www.grazinabockute.com/) The 'Sensus' system is a revolutionary set of equipment for those with visual impairments to help them [navigate their city or community](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/navigation-system) with better agility. Consisting of a [cane sensor and a wrist band](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rehabilitation-sensor-system), the system will work to detect objects or obstacles that are in your path and relaying the information to the writs band that will vibrate to let you know ahead of time. This enables users to feel more independent and react to obstacles sooner rather than once they are directly in front of them for a safer, more intuitive everyday experience. The 'Sensus' system is the design work of Gražina Bočkutė and identifies the need for simple, intuitive technology for those who are [blind or visually impaired](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lighthouse-tech) to keep them independent in their everyday life. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Assistive Technology:** Technology that aids those with disabilities to lead more independent lives. - **Haptic Feedback:** Devices providing tactile feedback to guide users in real-time. - **Personalized Sensors:** Customized sensors that enable individuals to navigate unfamiliar spaces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthcare:** Developing assistive technologies to meet the needs of disabled individuals. - **Consumer Electronics:** Creating devices with personalized haptic feedback to enhance user experience. - **Transportation:** Integrating the Sensus system into public transportation and making it more accessible for all passengers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered Mobility Aids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/navicane.md) - [Haptic Navigation Wristbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haptic-navigation-wristband.md) - [Wearable Non-Verbal Assistive Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-assistive-system.md) - [Connected Walking Support Canes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stride-senze.md) - [Connected Sensor-Packed Canes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caregiver-smart-cane.md) - [Accessible Home Device Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessble-home-device.md) - [Visual Impairment Support Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-bone-conduction-headset.md) - [Robotic Visual Impairment Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handheld-guidance-device.md) - [Wheeled Robotic Aids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheeled-robotic-aid.md)
