Machine perception → human perception

Artificial
human senses.

Murre is building a system that turns useful machine-visible signals into stable tactile patterns people can learn to recognize.

01The translation layer

Machine state,
beyond the screen.

Murre reads machine-visible state, tests which signals are useful, and compiles selected information into a stable tactile mapping.

ACTIVE PHASE

01Read

Ingest machine-visible state.

Thermal, depth, vibration, telemetry, and other machine-readable signals enter a shared input layer.

Murre Band

Touch becomes
a data channel.

A forearm-worn tactile array that encodes machine state while leaving eyes, ears, and hands free.

01Peripheral

Leaves eyes, ears, and hands available.

02Personal

Calibrated to distinctions a person can resolve.

03Stable

Mappings freeze long enough to become learnable.

03A Sense in miniature

Directional mapping

Direction,
without looking.

Move the target. Direction selects a tactile zone; proximity controls intensity. One signal becomes a learnable pattern.

04Evaluation criteria

A new percept
has to earn its place.

Each mapping is evaluated for recognition, learning, retention, task performance, and cognitive load.

The long view

Software taught machines to perceive the world.
Murre is building the path back.

Seeking research collaborators and pilot environments where hidden machine state has measurable value.
