Vibrating gloves will soon replace the white cane to help blind people ‘see’ their surroundings. 不久的将来，振动手套将取代盲杖帮助盲人“看见”周围的环境。 This is the prediction of a British team who has developed a prototype glove, dubbed SenSei, that provides vibration cues to a wearer. 英国一个团队做出了上述预测。该团队已经发明了振动手套的样板，取名为“SenSei ”，能通过振动给使用者提示。 The glove features a battery-operated ultrasonic senor on the back of the glove, which emits different levels of sound similar to a car’s parking sensor. 这种手套的背部安装有电池驱动的超声传感器，会发出不同等级的声音来提示使用者，类似汽车的泊车传感器。 Ultrasound waves are sent out, hit the obstacle, and when they return to the glove, they vibrate the fingers. 传感器会发出超声波，遇到障碍物后再反射回手套，然后让手指振动。 Different patterns and intensities let the user know how their distance between objects. 使用者可通过振动的不同模式及强度，来判断与障碍物之间的距离。 The glove was designed by two students at Nottingham University who wanted to develop a gadget that could be used without much training. 这种振动手套由两位诺丁汉大学（Nottingham University）的学生设计，他们想做一个可以轻松上手使用的小装置。 |
