ABOUT SOUND HUG
You can't hear doesn't mean
you can't experience.
This is why we developed "SOUND HUG".
By holding SOUND HUG, users can experience
music through the sense of touch
(movement and vibrations) and
through sight (lights).
From hearing music, to feeling music.
A new way to enjoy music.
HOW TO PLAY
Vibrates delicately in response
to melody and sound
Registers of sound converted into light
e.g. Red light in higher registers, blue in lower, etc.
Maximum of 50 can enjoy
at the same time

DEVELOPER
There have been various projects to bring diversity in how we listen to music. Pixie Dust Technologies, Inc., is one of the players searching for new styles of interface between information and space. To process music as spatial information, or for each of us to feel the music as tactile information, and for it to be optimized as music, we must have a device that could be held by anyone, cheap, light in weight and with a thin, sensitive surface. Our introduction of this device will enable a new relationship between us and sound.
