Sensory Substitution for Wounded Servicemembers
Abstract
Warfighters who suffer combat, training or accidental injuries that damage their sensory capabilities or mobility have great difficulty returning to productive lifestyles once healed from the initial trauma. This project advanced technologies for non-invasive sensory and mobility augmentation in order to allow these individuals to regain hope and social, productive lifestyles. We addressed the needs of these wounded warriors through evaluation of current sensory substitution technology, identification of specific injured servicemember requirements for sensory augmentation, development and demonstration of new sensory substitution techniques and application of these techniques to mobility enhancing devices to improve their usability.
