The Ghost Glove is one of the latest technologies, designed to be used specifically by blind athletes to improve their game. The device was designed by a team of engineering students from Imperial College, United Kingdom. It uses a combination of vibrating pads and sensors that can help in charting the precise position of swimmers’ upper arms, then giving feedback to the swimmer through vibration to help the swimmer executing perfect stroke in the water. The Glove can also be used in tennis and golf.
