For people who have all of their senses and aren't color blind, which artificial sense(s) would be most useful for navigating one's environment?
>magnetic fields
>radio waves
>ultrasound (or infrasound)

These are the only things I can think of for now. Are there any others?

I am deaf and have been for most of my life. I can "feel" my dog coming towards me when I call him from several rooms away due to the vibration made in the floor. I believe that being able to experience all of those things at once would probably be a headache and a half, hyperstimulation.

out of curiosity are you the kind of deaf person who if given the chance to hear wouldn't want to have it?

OP here, forgot to mention, the tongue is the best non-invasive interface to the human brain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainport
The guy in the pic might have used it instead of or in addition to his vibration implant.

Well, not all at once, but a helmet might implement all of them independently, like how the predator can change his vision. But I'm thinking more along the lines of picking up electrical impulses from other organisms then sending them to the Brainport, which might allow predicting people's movements or avoding things like electrified water.

radio is much more useful than either of the other two. Magnetic waves will only reveal ferric objects and infra/ultrasound will only reveal high frequency emitters and noise. Radio, on the other hand, is exactly like light and would let you see much much more of this reality; everything is already being blasted by radio whereas magnetic fields and high freq sounds can be very situational.

Any of those would be dreadful and useless in a modern environment. It's barely tolerable even for our regular senses. Imagine perceiving the creeching of radio waves and magnetic fields every where you go.

Having a dog's sense of smell would be pretty useful. They can be trained to detect cancer, explosives, etc.
