VibeBeat
Beat-synced Apple Watch haptics for Deaf and hard-of-hearing dancers.
The idea
Make rhythm something you can feel.
VibeBeat was created for Deaf and hard-of-hearing people, who may not be able to rely on sound when learning or enjoying dance. A dance video provides the visual reference while synchronized Apple Watch vibrations translate the beat into a tactile cue on the wrist.
MVP demo
An early prototype for testing rhythm clarity, timing, and comfort with the dancers it is designed for.
