Music lovers, including the hearing-impaired, soaked up a classical concert in New York.
Thanks to ground breaking software by Music: Not Impossible, members of the deaf community could appreciate the concert via vibrations from wearing haptic harnesses and wrist and ankle bracelets placed on the skin.
Flavia Naslausky heads the business development team at Music: Not Impossible.
Following years of research, Music: Not Impossible managed to successfully engineer a software which composes, converts and transmits wireless audio vibrations with near zero latency to the bodies of those wearing the equipment.
According to the company's co-founder Patrick Hanlon, the device is capable of being altered for different genres of music and concerts.
Not only can wearers feel the music, communicated by vibrations to 8 zones on the body, but they can also adjust the vibration intensity.
This equipment, which indicates intensity by colour changes in LED lights, is aptly described as a 'Surround Body Experience.'
Being a deaf person and a composer of musical theatre, Jay Zimmerman was the perfect fit to be involved in testing the 2018 prototype of the equipment.
Music: Not Impossible has revolutionised the concert experience for the hearing-impaired with its 'Surround Body Experience' device, a far cry from having had to rely upon holding an inflated balloon, during the show, to feel the vibrations of the music.
Celebrity musician Pharrell weighed in, calling the technology the future of music.
