Perception-Expanding Vibrating Vests

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Neosensory Has Developed the VEST, Which Reinterprets Sounds

— April 12, 2017 — Lifestyle
Neosensory's VEST is made up of 32 vibrating motors that allow wearer's to understand sound and speech by training their brains to rethink how sound is interpreted.

The VEST is able to pick up sounds from the wearer's environment and interprets it into vibrating patterns across their torso, and as time goes on the wearer is able to understand what people are saying around them through these patterns. The VEST has a multitude of potential uses that help to develop new sense perceptions in wearers, including but not limited to "sound, infrared vision, VR gaming, stock market data, etc."

Neosensory's VEST works to expand wearers' perception beyond the limited number of senses that humans are born with.
Trend Themes
1. Neuroplasticity Training - Neosensory's VEST is an example of a neuroplasticity training device that allows wearers to interpret sounds through vibrating patterns, opening up possibilities for other neuroplasticity training products.
2. Sensory Augmentation - The VEST's ability to interpret sounds and speech into vibrating patterns expands wearers' perception and suggests opportunities for sensory augmentation in various industries.
3. Technology-assisted Perception - Neosensory's VEST utilizes technology to assist perception and offers disruptive innovation opportunities for the development of similar products.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - Neosensory's VEST can be applied in healthcare to assist individuals with hearing impairments by providing an alternative method for sound interpretation.
2. Gaming - The VEST's potential use in VR gaming highlights the gaming industry's opportunity to enhance user experiences through novel sensory input.
3. Finance - The VEST's ability to interpret stock market data through vibrating patterns presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in finance to enhance data analysis and decision-making processes.
