Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

An adaptive pilot trial of RoboHear™ hardware and software to test the feasibility of learning to understand language using a haptic (touch) device installed in the stem of a pair of glasses. These tests are not meant to be exhaustive but will validate the hardware and software and provide an informal test platform for learning to 'hear' or interpret sounds and words using haptic technology.
