This shirt enables people who are deaf to feel the music

Technology

Sound Shirt is the name of a wearable device that can make the world musical for people with hearing disabilities.

The wearable device has been created by a London-based fashion company, called CuteCircuit. The device has been tested for almost a year now.

The Sound Shirt is a tight-fitting blue jacket made of synthetic fibres. It is fitted with 16 tiny motors.

The shirt processes sounds with the help of eight microphones and converts them into vibrations.

These different vibrations are then felt by the wearer, giving them a sense of music.

The device will be tested during an upcoming concert by the musician Tchaikovsky in Hamburg’s Laeiszhalle concert hall, in Germany.

Claudia Weyel, a 50-year-old teacher from Frankfurt, will be putting on the shirt to experience the performance.

Ask Bhavna

Hi, I'm Bhavna Sharma. An Inclusion Strategist with Newz Hook. Yes, I am a person with disability. But that doesn't define who I am. I am a youth, a woman and also the 1st Miss Disability of India 2013. I wanted to achieve something in life and I have been working for the last 9 years. I have recently completed my MBA in Human Resources because I want to grow. I am like every other young person in India. I want a good education, a good job and I want to help my family financially. So you can see I am like everyone else, yet people see me differently.

Here is the Ask Bhavna column for you where I would like to talk to you about the law, society and people's attitudes and how we can build inclusion in India together.

So, if you have a question about any issue related to disability, bring them out and I can try to answer them? It could be a question relating to a policy or of a personal nature. Well, this is your space to find the answers!
