ImmersiVest

Program: VIBRATIONS OF LIFE – Bringing Sound to the Silent World
Presented by: The Bill Carroll Foundation
**Featuring the Breakthrough Innovation: ImmersiVest

Imagine feeling the rhythm of your favorite song, sensing the crash of cymbals down your spine, or experiencing the subtle hum of a cello across your chest—all without hearing a single note. For millions in the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, this is not just imagination—it’s now a revolutionary reality.

​

We are proud to unveil the ImmersiVest, a cutting-edge, immersive haptic vest that allows deaf and hearing-impaired individuals to feel music, speech, and ambient sound with stunning realism. Our mission is to raise $20,000 to receive and distribute these vests to our special needs classrooms, deaf organizations, and hearing-impaired individuals in our first wave.

​

This campaign, Vibrations of Life, is a movement to unlock access, expression, and empowerment through the gift of haptic sound. We’re calling on sponsors, philanthropists, and community leaders to help us deliver this life-changing experience to those who have been excluded from the world of music and sonic expression—until now.

The Technology: ImmersiVest

 

Feel What You've Never Heard Before

​The newly redesigned ImmersiVest uses six independent, Powerful & Accurate oscillators strategically placed across the torso to create a 360° spatial haptic experience. These state-of-the-art oscillators respond to precise frequencies and dynamically simulate the full emotional range of music and sound—right against the body.

• Independent Oscillator Matrix: Six oscillators operate independently to mirror frequency-specific vibrations for spatial awareness and depth.

• Full Frequency Response: From deep bass drums to delicate high notes, the vest delivers a nuanced, detailed range of sensation.

• Bone Conduction + Bluetooth: Compatible with any wireless headset or bone conduction device for an incredible, dual-sensory, complete upper body experience.

• Breathable Ergonomic Design: Made from ultralight, breathable, body-conforming materials for maximum comfort—ideal for students, performers, or casual users.

 

The Experience: A Soul-Touching Sensory Journey

From music classes and theater to gaming and live performance, the ImmersiVest allows the deaf and hard-of-hearing to experience a new emotional connection to sound. It is not just a tool—it's an artistic, emotional, and sensory bridge.

​

Use Cases:

• 🎶 Music Education: Let deaf students feel rhythm, melody, and dynamics to participate in band, choir, and instrumental learning.

• 🎮 Gaming & Media: Enhance entertainment experiences with physical feedback in VR, gaming, and streaming.

• 🎤 Live Performance & Events: Recreate the visceral energy of concerts and dance events from the comfort of home or actually at a live performance.

• 🧘‍♀️ Mindfulness & Therapy: Used for vibration therapy, meditation, and emotion regulation in sensory processing treatments.
