Method and system for providing adjunct sensory information to a user

A system for providing information to a user, the system comprising:

• a wrist-borne device, the wrist-borne device comprising a microphone, wherein the microphone receives an input signal;
• a processing system at least partially arranged onboard the wrist-borne device, wherein the processing system:
• generates a preprocessed signal upon preprocessing the input signal with a set of preprocessing operations for a set of frames of the input signal;
• processes the preprocessed signal to produce a set of outputs;
• and
• maps the set of outputs to a device domain associated with the wrist-borne device;
• a plurality of haptic actuators coupled to wrist-borne device and configured to be arranged around at least a partial circumference of the user's wrist, wherein the plurality of haptic actuators, in near real time, cooperatively produces a haptic output representative of the input signal, thereby providing audio information to the user at the wrist-borne device.
