摘要：
A system is provided to minimize, or potentially eliminate, veering of a visually impaired user that is walking along a linear path. The system includes a wearable apparatus to be worn by a user. Further, the system includes a sensor, which measures ambulatory motion of the user along a linear path, that adheres to the wearable apparatus. The system also includes a processor that adheres to the wearable apparatus. The processor determines ambulatory motion deviation from the linear path according to the ambulatory motion being in excess of a predetermined angular threshold, and also determines according to one or more veering detection criteria if the ambulatory motion deviation is a veering motion or a purposeful turn. Finally, the system includes a left non-visual output device and a right non-visual output device that adheres to a right side of the wearable apparatus.
