Polaris Magnetic North

A wearable that lets you feel magnetic north through temperature changes.

This Project sought to simulate magnetoception in humans and investigate the possible effects of using a device providing a constant sensor of north via a device oscillating between hot and cold. This aids in forming a better mental map of one's environment and increasing spatial memory.

In collaboration with Alexis Hope & Basheer Tome. 2014
