What if everyone, including deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, could fully experience the thrill of sports, music, and entertainment?
🔊 Haptic vests, wristbands, and subwoofers are transforming sound into vibrations, allowing people to feel every beat, cheer, and chant! Imagine:
🏟️ Stadiums & Competitions - Feel the crowd's roar at the World Cup, Olympics, Paralympics, or Deaflympics through wearable haptics.
🎧 DJ & Music Experiences - Subwoofers and haptic wearables let aspiring DJs and music lovers feel the bass and rhythm while mixing or enjoying a set.
📺 TV & Home Entertainment - Connect haptic gear to sports broadcasts, movies, or concerts, bringing the stadium experience to your living room.
🚪 Event Entrances & Venues - Even at the gates, haptic systems can enhance accessibility, creating an immersive and inclusive environment from start to finish.
This technology is already changing lives - let’s push for broader adoption across stadiums, music festivals, and entertainment venues in the UK and beyond!
👉 I highly recommend watching "Old Hands, New Tricks" on BBC iPlayer, Episode 2, by Rose Ayling-Ellis. It features the amazing group Deaf Rave, who provide haptic devices that let you feel music through your body and mind. 🎵✨
Who else is excited about this future? Let’s work together to make sound truly for everyone! 🙌🔥
