Ford's Feel the View smart window lets blind passengers enjoy the landscape

Ford has developed a "new haptic visual language" that allows blind people to experience the view through a car window.
The Feel the View smart window captures an image of the surrounding scenery and translates it into vibrations on a tactile display that a passenger can explore through touch.
A video released by the car brand describes the technology as "allowing passengers to touch the scene and rebuild in their mind the landscape in front of them".
