Sensaura is an inclusive design solution for blind and partially sighted people to navigate the world beyond vision. The wearable technology communicates a spatial audio language which enables independent travel and has the potential to transform hands-free navigation in future urban planning.

How can we navigate the world without sight? In the U.K. today, nearly 2 million people are living with sight loss. This figure is set to double by 2050. Sensaura is an inclusive design solution for blind and partially sighted people to navigate the wo

About Sophie Horrocks

Sophie Horrocks is a human-centred designer and researcher who believes that design has the power to improve human quality of life. Her work is driven by the principle that in order to achieve this, we must recognise the value of empathy-driven, not just evidence-based design. She applies this principle to the design of research, interfaces and environments; promoting inclusion and accessibility by using multi-sensory designs that go beyond just vision.
