Abstract
In one aspect, a headset may include a housing, at least one processor in the housing, a transparent display accessible to the processor and coupled to the housing, and at least first and second vibrators accessible to the processor and coupled to the housing. The first and second vibrators may be located at different positions with respect to the housing. The headset may also include storage accessible to the processor and coupled to the housing. The storage may include instructions executable by the processor to track a person as the person moves through an environment. The instructions may also be executable to, based on tracking the person, actuate one of the first and second vibrators to indicate a direction in which the person is to travel and/or to alert the person of an object that is within a threshold distance to the person.
