Haptics

My sister sent me this interesting article on Haptics, something I've never heard about before.  It's entitled 'By Tricking the Brain, Disney’s Bringing Digital Sight to the Blind'.  And here is a video that explains more about the concept: 'Haptic-feedback shoes guide blind walkers'.

I had this delicious 'spicy seafood and pork noodle soup' at our favourite Vietnamese restaurant the other day.  It is their Wednesday special  I just asked them to make it a bit less spicy and it was perfect!  I had never tried it before and I'm glad I did.  We tend to get the same things every time and this proves it's good to try new things every now and then.

  2. I wonder if a blind person can see your soup, which looks like something I would want to eat. Yum.

  7. That soup looks delicious. It's nice to try new things, now and then. I'm a creature of habit with choices at restaurants, and I have to force myself to try something different.
