SoundShirt
by CuteCircuit

The SoundShirt allows a deaf person to feel music on their skin through haptic sensations and experience a live symphonic concert for the first time.

This tactile full immersion in music is something that truly allows the experience of a live concert to be finally inclusive and shared by everyone. The SoundShirt is an ongoing project and can be tried at the Junge Symphoniker in Hamburg and seen in the Access+Ability exhibit at Cooper Hewitt the Smithsonian Design Museum in New York.
