Berlin, Germany: The Potsdam-based company launched Feelbelt, a Haptic Belt that lets users feel music and sounds on their body, recreating the feeling of being live at a concert. It transfers higher frequencies as well.
Features of the Feelbelt:-
- Bass vibrations come through small speakers on the front. Higher frequencies come through the sides.
- The Feelbelt has ten so-called impulse generators.
- The belt connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth, the headset connects to the belt using a standard cable.
"With the Feelbelt you can feel everything through haptic vibrations that you would also hear in music or gaming," explains says Carsten Klippstein, Feelbelt's business development manager. "You feel it as vibrations on your body, that means that you can feel everything that is happening in the film, the music or the game."
"The big thing is, when you are at a live event of some sort, the sound waves leave the source, like a big speaker, and the whole sound wave hit my body," says Klippstein."But when I'm sitting at home with just my headset, I lose that whole sound wave. I just get everything directly in the ear. The belt can take that big sound wave and put it back on the body."
