This new invention is fascinating on just about every level-it’s an mp3 player for the deaf that translates musical notes into nuanced vibrations. Holding the pillow-sized stereo against your chest, one can feel the rhythms, beats, and melodies-allowing the hearing impaired to fully enjoy music for the first time. The experience is fleshed out even more with the innovative use of LED lights that change color and brightness along with the music.
As seen above, the LED light is hooked up to the high range oscillator, and senses the emerging vibrations. It plays an equalized light show along with the music. Light emitting diodes are popping up everywhere these days–they’re making their way everywhere from streetlights to tire valve caps to Japanese girls’ eyes as a fashion statement. The efficient, incredibly long lasting light is an ideal fit for an invention like this.
It’s supposed to be as “soft as a pillow” to boot. It’s a fascinating invention, designed by Sungwoo Park.
