This Haptic Suit Lets You 'Hear' Music Through Your Skin

[@freethink]

What cool possibilities do you think this could enable?

[@bellsTheorem1138]

Possibly used as a hearing aid for those with complete deafness. I wonder if you could learn to interpret sounds or even spoken language with it.

[@bluefernlove]

Vibration as language could have fascinating implications. Feeling the vibrations a whale or tree emits, and most importantly if possible, emitting them back, could change our perception of the world forever. Non-verbal, non-symbolic communication, could also be used to interact with people with low-functioning autism, or people in comatose states... even microbial life, terrestrial or otherwise. Communicating with a cell, through vibration, to self repair. Some animals already communicate this way with the Earth, plants, each other, through seismc vibration. For humans, it would be a new world.

You could use this for more immersive vr games by using the suit for more immersion in vr games, also imagine all the possibilities of this and Beat Saber

[@bellsTheorem1138]

@@Christ5306 it already is used for VR. That was it's original purpose.

[@eugenemakes]

So many new possibilities!! They should make a suit with movement sensors so that a dancer can wear it and their movement can be translated into vibrations so you can feel the dance- then blind people can also get in on the fun

[@justalex787]

Imagine being super high in this thing

[@diggleda2952]

Sign me up

[@lekiscool]

I feel music, I am a hearing person but this is a reason I was drawn to be a musician. I also internal music as movement. I have sound synesthesia.

[@brendafulmernickel1218]

I believe this is the wave forward!❤🎶🎯

[@Duality-Mode]

Got em'.

[@jackandblaze5956]

Yeah, I have 5 of these things. Bought them 15 years ago. They were made for gamers. Always thought it was pretty cool. It's about time these things became more widely known.

[@nicholasamemazior3066]

Am I the only one amazed by all of freethink's videos and the great things people we've never heard of are doing? It's just awesome. Keep it up freethink

[@Dodl1]

Soooo interesting, I wanna try that out. For me, and a lot of people, music is such a big part of life. Alone to be able to feel it without having a bass smashing your ears would be a dream!

[@Patbarbeyron]

This is amazing, absolutely brilliant. One suggestion : subtitles for the video. This is very important for the Deaf community, so it would make sense to have an inclusive video.

[@Duality-Mode]

This. Is. Amazing.

[@gallieon8718]

What is want to know if this can convey a level of communication. Can one vibrate a word and have someone wearing the vest understand it? Or can you vibrate a tune and have the recipient hum it back as intended? Or is it just a feeling?

[@hazeydaze8396]

From my experience with my full haptic vest with built in digital to analog converter (DAC) with Amp & uses voice actuators to replicate exact frequencies of instruments. It's crazy I can hear the difference between lots of instruments like identify a violin compared to a guitar, even electric vs. acoustic . It also when I play with the calibration then I can literally hear/feel lyrics sung. One time I was trying to answer a call from my mother & I forgot to link my earbuds then when I answered I could hear my mom speaking but it sounded faint and like she was talking from inside something and when I tried turning it up & earbudd didn't output I realized her voice sounded that way cause I was hearing her speak inside me like thru my bones/ ribs like it sounded inside me but also like she was lower than me

[@JR-_-2010]

This is amazing.

[@Fonoizabellapedriali]

Very nice! Incredible... Congrats!

[@hayazi96able]

Bruh, I legit didn't expect this to be a thing. I legit just thought, I want to hear the music and FEEL the BASS. without everyone having to hear it.

[@Valnuss]

That's why I'm here because I was looking for something like this but the vest here does something different.

[@alexonian9543]

There’s one called a woojer vest, what’s the difference between that and this do you think there is?

[@Fonoizabellapedriali]

Coming to Brasil, please contact me. I have lot's of Deaf patients who would love to try it! We could make an experience at The "Museo do Olho" at Curitiba. Very wonderful work you guys did!

[@eliruterman4539]

thebamboozlekingbinasjadalalmas lol what?

[@SK-tk5lc]

So cool!!!!!

[@prestigegames2473]

Imagine playing ear rape bass boost in that thing

[@mangoboy3367]

Lol what if this can turn into a everyday thing and we basically communicate like bugs do with antennas? Yearling and listening with vibrations???????

[@themilkman792]

This is gonna be fun with Slipknot.

[@dakid52990]

I just thought of this thinking i might invented something NOPE! Lmaooo 😂😂😂 great job tho everyone behind this.

[@maskinbeauty3734]

Ever heard of the Subpac, woojer, bhaptics. similar stuff.

[@dystopiapolitical2126]

[@SK-tk5lc]

How will this evolve in a post-COVID era?

[@IsraelLutzMusic]

Cool

[@khaley37781]

Shut up and take my money!

[@naveenahsn]

I shut my mouth. Now give me the money.

[@orphancrippler5215]

So how is the deaf community supposed to hear about this

[@Projekt_Nightmare]

Can you use this in vr?

[@stephaniewells8671]

daniel is for sure brazilian! Muito interessante esse projeto! Realmente único muito obrigada!

[@AdrianaDuarte2014]

Um lixo de pessoa

[@flow5684]

woah

[@smileyd1015]

Why not advance o this technology to give people without hearing a s come change

[@Noname-uk9mu]

You can do this without the suit just get some LSD.

[@osuvarreed6179]
