Currently available aid devices (e.g., white canes) are not able to completely overcome these limitations. With the support of the Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie Actions programme, the IN-SIGHT project will deliver a step-change device based on a wearable electromagnetic interface with haptic feedback that will be integrated inside a glove to improve the wearability and the performance of existing electronical travel aids. A radar with an array of flexible antennas will be proposed to sense the environment and provide feedback through flexible haptic actuators. This solution will enable a person to remotely &#8220;feel&#8221; their environment, sense and interact with nearby objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex
