Headband Gives Wearer "Sixth-Sense"

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the use-the-force dept.

An anonymous reader writes "New Scientist reports on a headband developed at the University of Tokyo that allows the wearer to feel their surroundings at a distance — as if they had cats whiskers. Infrared sensors positioned around the headband vibrate to signal when and where an object is close. There are also a few great videos of people using it to dodge stuff while blindfolded."

    I thought the sixth sense was when you figured out the movie in the first 5 minutes and had to suffer through the rest of it banging your head on the seat in front of you bellowing "It'S OH so fucking OBvious!"

    Maybe that's just me,
