The proposed system will augment the need for a navigational aid to the drivers and commuters, without affecting the situational awareness of the person.
Here we will use haptic sensory perception to aid the navigation and frees the vision and audio perception of the person from being used for the same.

The person will be able to receive haptic vibrational feedback on the Pacinian corpuscle of his wrist with the help of a micro-vibrational motor assembly.

By understanding the nature of the vibration, he will be able to determine if a change in direction is required in the route or if he is approaching and close to the destination.
This works with the help of a mobile application that will be linked to a map and connected to the Arduino Nano33 IoT device over BLE, which in turn controls the vibration assembly.
This is extremely useful to drivers as well as daily commuters who use navigational aids for travel.
