HapticDiveBuddy: Assessing utility of haptic feedback in navigating high turbidity diving environments

Authors Info & Claims
Published:19 April 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

Rescue, cave and police divers find themselves often working in murky, high turbidity environments. Those challenging environments often times are the scenes of rescue missions, key evidence recovery and in case of cave divers scientific discoveries. Work in those environments requires specialized training and despite rigorous safety protocols those environments become risky. Some of the main risks are disorientation, entanglement, injury as a result of collision with an unseen object and running out of gas as a result of prolonged stay underwater in attempt to orientate oneself. Therefore, the main focus of the proposed undergoing research is to prototype an assistive device for underwater navigation and test the suitability of haptic technology to underwater applications. The main contributions of the following project are (1) Proposal of a haptic diving costume technology navigation system for diving application (2) Conducting experiments aiming at assessing the potential strengths and drawbacks of haptic feedback in marine environments.
