Our assistive gives deaf and low-hearing users a more complete video game experience by providing them with haptic feedback that matches in-game sounds.


Playing video games is a valuable experience that connects people around the world. It鈥檚 an important part of the upbringing of so many, so we believe it鈥檚 essential to make gaming more accessible for everyone. The Surround Strap uses haptic feedback to improve directional awareness within a video game. This gives users in the deaf and low-hearing community a more complete gaming experience.
