Spatial awareness
you can feel.
An Australian company developing assistive glasses for people who are blind or have low vision.
International patent application filed · PCT/AU2026/050792
What we're building
Information you can feel, without occupying your hearing.
We are developing a pair of glasses that senses the space around the wearer and conveys distance and direction as gentle, felt vibration. Because the information arrives through touch rather than sound, it is designed to leave hearing free — the sense people who are blind or have low vision rely on most.
It is designed as a supplementary spatial-awareness aid, to be used together with the white cane or guide dog, and never as a replacement for either.
The device is in active development. It is not currently available for supply, and nothing on this site is an offer to sell. We will publish availability information only once development, testing and the applicable regulatory steps are complete.
Why we're building it
This started at home.
Spatii began with the founder's sister, who has retinitis pigmentosa, and with obstacles that arrive without warning above the cane's reach. The founder has also experienced sight loss himself, and its return.
