Hapti-Co in Norway has provided this app in English and Norwegian.
It’s available on iOS platforms. Go to the App Store and search for: “Haptics: Pocket Edition”. Coming soon to Google Play on Android devices.

Not sure what Haptics are???
Haptics is a way of using touch to provide visual and environmental information when working with people who have both vision and hearing loss.
Consider taking a free online, self-paced course from HKNC, paired with this app. Here’s a link to the course: https://www.helenkeller.org/hknc/class/haptics-using-touch-convey-visual-and-environmental-information-people-who-are-deaf-blind
