Feel The Music is a portable bluetooth speaker originally designed for visual and/or hearing impaired senior citizens. It provides a truly visceral experience, in a form factor reminiscent of a pet - a companion. Not only does it allow for music to be heard and felt, but it opens up a new form of communication for individuals with complete hearing loss.
This is a high end portable speaker that you don't just hear, but feel - just like you're sitting on top of a subwoofer at a live concert
Features:
Feel the music:
Containing not only a multitude of high-end speakers for auditory listening, Feel The Music also contains a multitude of vibrating motors, each tuned for specific musical frequency ranges. When you set the speaker on yourself, or on a piece of furniture close to you, you will actually feel the musical notes - down to your bones.
Tactile, easy to navigate exterior layout:
Designed with several highly-tactile exterior controls and features, and buttons that actually plunge like the old-school radios found in classic cars and elsewhere, this speaker brings a new level of style to product design for the visually impaired.
AI auditory and vibrational commands and assistance:
In today's world, AI assistance opens up limitless possibilites for visual and/or hearing impaired individuals. Once the bluetooth auditory and/or vibrational pairing instructions help the user connect their smart device to the speaker, their AI assistant of choice becomes an integrated feature of Feel The Music - where it can seamlessly translate auditory communications into vibrations for individuals with hearing loss. Ask Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant a question - and they can talk back through vibrational morse code.
Translate tapped morse code into audible words, and visa versa:
Feel The Music can be tapped on by it's user, and through AI the taps will subsequently be translated into audible words - allowing blind, deaf individuals familiar with morse code to communicate with others in a new way.

Designed to be a companion - like a pet that lays on your lap:
This speaker was initially inspired by a visually impaired wheelchair-bound woman, petting her fluffy cat. We removed the litter box and cat food requirements, now all you need is a USB-C charger.
