A sensory weaver is a device that takes in sensory data and converts it into information streams that replicate native sensory inputs, according to curiosiate.
One example is the wrist-mounted linear actuator array “MK2 Lockpick”, whose lengthy design and build log is on the curiosiate site.
The actuators for the device were harvested from Samsung S23 smartphones, and similar parts could be used from iPhones.
Another is the compass belt, which provides haptic feedback to act as a compass.
Sensory weavers are becoming more popular and more examples are expected to appear.
The concept overlaps with sensory substitution, addition and expansion, which can use the Buttplug library.
One early example is the North Paw, previously featured in Hackaday in 2015.
