It was a great experience presenting the Haptic Guide project to the public for the first time this weekend.  It was awesome to meet so many different people from so many backgrounds over the course of last weekend, but even more surprising was the genuine interest so many people showed in the project.

I talked with people who studied haptics for their thesis in university, and people who currently develop haptic devices for people with disabilities.  I talked with people who have no sense of direction, and people who do but know someone with no sense of direction.  I talked with people from all over the world.  I think that in general, it was just one of the most unique experiences I have had.  So, i want to extend another big thanks to Nokia and all the people behind the scenes that made this event happen!

Going forward, we plan to develop the Haptic Guide much further.  In fact, we have already begun on new prototypes.  For any who are interested, we will be tracking future progress on our new website: http://www.hapticguide.com

We hope that one day, you will see this product in stores alongside cell phones and GPS units.
