Data glasses to improve balance and fall prevention
Prototype
Description
One cause of falls in older people is the age-related deterioration of sensory information, which impairs orientation and balance. Optical stimuli have hardly been used for fall prevention to date.
Researchers at the University of Konstanz (Institute of Training and Human Movement Sciences) are developing AR glasses that display visual orientation aids to improve balance. The overlaid geometric patterns (lines, squares, dots) provide horizontal and vertical information - particularly helpful in the dark, on white walls or with moving objects in the field of vision. The patterns appear at the edge of the field of vision and remain stable in the scene, regardless of head movements.
