Navigational Riding Aid for Visually Impaired Horse Riders
VERA Beacons
VERA - Visual impairment Equestrian Riding Aid is a navigational aid for visually impaired horse riders. It uses 2D stationary LiDAR technology to track the rider's movements within an arena and detect their proximity to the arena markers and boundary. This information is then communicated to the rider via a headset by audio and haptic feedback.
Vibrational and audio cues allow the rider to ride with more confidence and independence, as well as reduce the vocal burden of coaches.
