What does music or sound feel like? Almost everyone remembers a concert experience where the bass from nearby speakers vibrated through the whole body. Every time the low frequencies vibrate through the room, this is expressed by subtle vibrations of the body. This additional stimulus helps to ensure that the overall listening experience is perceived as more intense on average. What if this feeling, the feeling of acoustic information, could also be made accessible outside concert halls, namely for films and games? Feelbelt, the MediaTech start-up from Babelsberg, Germany, has developed a gadget for this very purpose: a belt that transforms sound into a physical experience.
