MUVIB: music and vibration

Published:13 September 2014Publication History

ABSTRACT

The idea behind this design is to create a design with which it is possible to change the perception that the individual has with music, changing therefore their relationship with it. The result is a product of the category design for all, to be used by both deaf and able-bodied individuals without difference. MUVIB is composed of two mutually connected bracelets that allow music to transform into vibration. To the able bodied, the interaction with the sound, and in our particular case with a particular type of sound, music as can be of various nature. For the deaf the concept changes, while this diverse ability does not allow them to enjoy all the physical and mental benefits that music put in place. For all these reasons we decided to work on this issue, thinking of a device that could flatten this difference in perception, placing both targets on a level field. Thanks to MUVIB the hearing and the deaf will be able to benefit from the effects that these two vibrators bracelets bring the entire body, creating different situations where come into play factors such as pleasure, relaxation and adrenaline. MUVIB is an open source project created with components readily available on the market, in order to allow everyone the reconstruction. In this way, the end user is involved in the production of the product, excluding the need to have a company producing and multiplying the possibility' for the dissemination of the product.
