Abstract

The hearing impaired children show a penchant for dancing and dance plays an essential part in education of deaf children. This paper introduces the Music-touch Shoes, a pair of shoes speically designed for hearing impaired dancer : The rhythm and tempo of music uploaded wirelessly can be communicated and perceived through the vibrotactile interaction, which is applied to one of the body parts most directly involved in performing dance rhythm, the foot. The different sequence, intensity and frequency of vibrations reflect different rhythm and tempo of music. This project sought to explore a way of making up the shortage of hearing ability through interaction with other senses, like vibrotactile sense, to fullfill the same dancing entertainment demand of the hearing impaired people.
