1. A wearable apparatus for converting a vision signal into a haptic signal, comprising:

  • an image capturer for capturing an image and outputting an image signal;

    a first microcontroller for processing a Y component of the image signal from the image capturer and outputting the processed signal;

    a vision signal processing module having a first transceiver for transmitting the processed Y signal and performing a communication interface with a haptic signal processing module;

    a second transceiver for performing a communication interface with the first transceiver;

    a second microcontroller for generating a control signal corresponding to the Y signal transmitted from the second transceiver;

    a pin-arrayed haptic device driver for generating a driving signal for varying heights and vibration intensities of pins according to the control signal; and

    the haptic signal processing module having a pin-arrayed haptic device for controlling the pins according to the driving signal.
