Argo - Aid for swimmers with visual impairments



Argo - A vibrating aid for the autonomy of visually impaired swimmers 

Argo is an Open Source assistive technology project designed to increase the autonomy of visually impaired swimmers by signalling the tack and orientation in the pool through different vibrations. This assistive technology is made up of three communicating devices: two positioned at the edge of the pool and one attached to the goggles on the back of the head.
