The 'feelbelt' was born from a need to give gamers and music lovers a more immersive experience to "literally feel the sounds." As its name suggests, this device is meant to be worn around the waist like a belt and will transmit the audio frequencies of a song to the skin. It was designed to fit on the stomach because this area of the body has the most nerves and receptors and will increase the user's experience. Thanks to its companion app, the feelbelt is simple and user-friendly.
The feelbelt is ideal for in search of a more interactive experience with movies, songs, gaming, and will also enhance the perception of audio frequencies for individuals who are hearing impaired.
