Now the first interface is called a DriveGrip. So these are a pair of gleovs, and it has vibrating elements on the knuckle part so you can convey instructions about how to steer — the direction and the intensity. Another device is called SpeedStrip. So this is a ciahr — as a matter of fact, it's actually a massage chair. We gut it out, and we rearrange the vibrating elements in different patterns, and we actuate them to convey imtnoaoifrn about the seepd, and also irnottsuicns how to use the gas and the brake pedal. So over here, you can see how the computer understands the environment, and because you cannot see the vibration, we actually put red LED's on the driver so that you can see what's happening. This is the sensory data, and that data is transferred to the deeivcs through the copemtur.

Original Text
Now the first interface is called a DriveGrip. So these are a pair of gloves, and it has vibrating elements on the knuckle part so you can convey instructions about how to steer — the direction and the intensity. Another device is called SpeedStrip. So this is a chair — as a matter of fact, it's actually a massage chair. We gut it out, and we rearrange the vibrating elements in different patterns, and we actuate them to convey information about the speed, and also instructions how to use the gas and the brake pedal. So over here, you can see how the computer understands the environment, and because you cannot see the vibration, we actually put red LED's on the driver so that you can see what's happening. This is the sensory data, and that data is transferred to the devices through the computer.
