Sound Sphere
Sound Sphere uses a balloon to transmit audio vibrations into the hands of the user, inviting users to not just listen to music, but also feel it.
Research
I was inspired by how deaf individuals experience sound through their sense of touch.
Many deaf concert goers bring balloons to better feel the vibrations of music. CO2 is denser than air, so it acts as a magnifier of sound waves.
