Vibering concept for the hearing impaired
The Vibering is a concept device for the hearing impaired from designers Kwang-seok Jeong, Min-hee Kim and Hyun-joong Kim. The idea is to help the hearing impaired keep in touch with the world at large. The device has a sound detection and identification system within. The user would wear it as jewelry, no different then a pair of rings and a watch. The rings act as ears and hear the sound around the wearer.

They calculate distance and position, vibrating accordly, giving the user valuable information on their surroundings, through the watch part, which processes the sound and displays the results. It will even understand some phrases like “Excuse Me”, your name and car horns. This would be a miracle device for the hearing impaired should it come to pass.
