Visually Impaired Swimmer Wearables

The conceptual 'Swimsight' is a wearable computer vision solution for visually impaired swimmers that would enable them to train on their own terms without the need for a tapper for safer swimming. The device works by being positioned onto the head and goes to work providing haptic feedback to the swimmer to let them know when they are reaching the end of the pool. This will help them to gauge their movements accordingly, while also supporting them when it comes to swimming in a straight line and more thanks to an intuitive navigation functionality.

The conceptual 'Swimsight' is the design work of Hugh Johnston and makes use of autonomous vehicle technology in order to give swimmers more independence in the water.
