Appl. No.:

14/878940

Inventors:

- Venice CA, US
David Francis Putrino - New York NY, US
Daniel Biscaro Loureiro - New York NY, US
Patrick Hanlon - Brooklyn NY, US

International Classification:

G09B 21/00
G08B 6/00

Abstract:

Vibratory motors are used to generate a haptic language for music or other sound that is integrated into wearable technology. The disclosed system enables the creation of a family of devices that allow people with hearing impairments to experience sounds such as music or other auditory input to the system. For example, a “sound vest” or one or more straps comprising a set of motors transforms musical input to haptic signals so that users can experience their favorite music in a unique way, and can also recognize auditory cues in the user's everyday environment and convey this information to the user using haptic signals.
