According to Adafruit, makers can build a haptic headband that vibrates to signal meditation breaks—without a sound. The project uses a haptic motor controller that generates different vibration patterns: waveforms, taps, clicks, hums, bumps, and fuzzes.

It's a hands-free, silent notification system for mindfulness.
