- This paper presents an analysis of a purpose-built handheld navigational device for use in immersive theatre settings. The analysis highlights how the use of novel, shape-changing technology can allow audience members to experience higher levels of confidence when walking in a pitch-black space. The paper shows that haptic technology can be made accessible to people to users who are sighted and those who have visual impairments without the need for adaptation to the device. This project was funded by Nesta and involved the production of an immersive theatre event to over 100 audience members.
