1. A wearable device for generating haptic feedback in response to an external stimuli, comprising:
a circular frame adapted for engaging a head of a user;
a plurality of sensing elements disposed on a perimeter of the circular frame;
a plurality of feedback elements disposed on the circular frame;
a sensory processor in communication with the plurality of sensing elements, the sensory processor configured to compute an angle of arrival of an audio input based on a sensed audio signal received by the plurality of sensing elements;
a directional processor configured for actuating at least one of the feedback elements responsive to the computed angle of arrival, the directional processor configured to actuate a first feedback element at a greater intensity than a second feedback element based on the angle of arrival; and
an accelerometer on the frame, the directional processor responsive to the accelerometer and configured to actuate the second feedback element at a greater intensity than the first feedback element based on a rotational signal from the accelerometer.
