Amplifon introduces a solution that has been presented to us at the Sónar+D international conference, the outcome of a challenge to the creative, technological and business community to find solutions for all those suffering from hearing loss.
This is a prototype glove with sensors that allows you to perceive sounds through touch. Using haptic technology the glove causes different vibrations thanks to the presence of six sensors.
Each sensor is connected to a musical instrument via Bluetooth, an idea that the team members had, who for only four days managed to present the working prototype.
Jose Carlos Flórez and Adolfo González, creative coders; Daniel Rosero, engineer; Dimitrios Kreatsoulas, data designer and scientist; and Giancarlo Orsi, designer, were the protagonists of the project, who assure that it can also have several utilities to feel Midi, audio and data in different contexts, such as virtual reality and educational or artistic applications, among others.
It is an alternative to hearing aids that help you feel music and sound through vibrations, and they are already thinking of solutions that use LEDs, vibration motors or even augmented reality to further transform sounds into visual and kinetic content.
