TL;DR Summary

'Radar' Glasses designed by [tpsully] utilize a VL53L1X time-of-flight sensor to provide distance sensing for the visually impaired, with a vibration motor on the bridge offering haptic feedback corresponding to the sensor's readings. Inspired by personal experiences with temporary blindness, the glasses allow users to scan their surroundings by sweeping their head, feeling the vibration intensity change in response, and building a mental depth map of the immediate area, resembling RADAR antenna sweeps. This innovative approach adds to the growing field of accessibility-focused technology.
