If you have one-sided neglect this belt could inform you of what is on your neglected side. Much more easily than having to swivel your head all the time.

the Kinecthesia,
a haptic belt which allows the wearer to virtually sense objects ahead,
and to the left and right thanks to three motors which vibrate in
response to objects in their immediate vicinity. As the name would
imply, at the heart of the Kinecthesia is an XBox Kinect 3D camera which
is connected to a Beagle Board computing platform that processes the
depth data from the device and drives the motors.
