The disclosure includes a system and method for switching vibration modalities based on conditions to provide navigation guidance. The system includes a tactile belt and a computing device. The computing device includes a modality module for receiving path data describing a path planned for a user associated with a tactile belt and location data describing a location of the user associated with the tactile belt, determining condition data based on the path data and the location data and determining a vibration modality based on the condition data. The condition data describes a direction change. The vibration modality describes a pattern for vibration and indicates a vibration signal. The system applies the vibration signal indicated by the vibration modality to the tactile belt to instruct the user associated with the tactile belt to follow the path.
