A gaming experience with vibration vest integration

In collaboration with the Royal College of Art (RCA), developed Beyond Silence, an innovative interactive game that simulates the experiences of individuals who are deaf. The game challenges players to locate a ringing phone without using auditory cues, highlighting the significance of other senses such as sight and spatial awareness. Players must rely on visual and tactile clues to enhance their sensory perception and foster empathy. A key feature of Beyond Silence is a vibration strap that players wear while playing. This strap provides haptic feedback, guiding players through the environment to discover vibrating objects and uncover clues. By exploring the game’s environment and piecing together the narrative, players gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by the deaf community. Through its engaging, sensory-rich gameplay, Beyond Silence offers a profound, empathetic experience.
