The Newmarket Collective have launched a collaboration with Music: Not Impossible who have developed a Haptic Vest which enables the Deaf and hard of hearing community to have an enhanced live music experience. Made with vibrations technology, these vests are able to translate sound frequencies to skin vibrations. The wireless setup include a harness, as well as two wrist and ankle bands to provide specific vibrations to the user’s body across 24 touch points. Both artists and audiences are both able to use these vests to experience music in an entirely new way.
Visit the Music: Not Impossible website to find out more. To experience the vests for yourself or to hire them for your event contact newmarketismusic@gmail.com.
