For the feedback pads, I decided the muscle wire would be best used here instead of some form of inflatable, as muscle wire is silent and provides enough tug to provide some form of sensory feedback. The down side to using muscle wire is that it generates a lot of heat, so wherever the muscle wire must be placed, there must also be some insulating material to prevent the wearer from being burnt. As mentioned above, the camera is mounted at the collar of the shirt on the wearer's back. Wires will run across the mid torso to power everything, and to transmit the data from the camera. There is obviously a need for large data processing with CV, so it would be easier to provide either a wireless or wired connection to the user's phone which can do the processing and feed the appropriate muscle wire response back in real time.
