Proximity Hat Warns of Obstacles with Gentle Pressure

The Proximity Hat guides the wearer and warns them of obstacles with gentle pressure on the head. The harder the pad presses, the closer the obstacle, allowing the user to navigate the area hands-free. The system could also find its way into firefighting operations and could even be used to detect areas of high pollution.
