Vibe-U

Vibe-U is a wearable belt with micro-vibration motors embedded, designed for children with profound hearing loss. With microphones on the sides and back, it detects sounds and converts them into vibrations through a receiver, allowing the user to feel the direction of the incoming sound. Vibe-U's vibrant colours appeal to children, and it may also be worn discreetly under clothing.
