Claim 0:
1. A wearable device, comprising:
a sensor system for collecting information about a user's environment;
a computational means, in communication with the sensor system, for determining coordinate positions, relative to the user, of one or more objects in the environment;
computer vision software, executable on the computational means, to determine character, identity, or class of the objects in the environment;
a plurality of tactile stimulation elements that are contained within or attached to a garment configured to be worn by the user and that interface with the user's skin and are configured to be activated in a snaking pattern such that information about the coordinate positions and character of each of the one or more objects is communicated to the user;
a communications module connecting the sensor system and the tactile stimulation elements to a network; and
a portable power source configured to power the sensor system, the computational means, and the tactile stimulation elements.
