Talk About Rock Music

Think that music concerts and festivals are for the hearing?  Think again!!  concerts and festivals may dramatically change as the hearing impaired are finally being catered for at these types of events.

A special type of chair called the Emoti-Chair, has been designed by Ryerson University Alternative Sensory Information Displays.  The chairs analyse the sound frequency of music and then translate that into physical attributes in the chair such as vibrations, movement and blowing air in to the users face.
It is not just the chairs that will be for the guests attending the concert but their will also be interpreters, music visualisation, like what you get on teh XBox or Wondows Media Player and also captioning.

The concert is taking place on the 5th of March in Toronto in Canada.  The Dufraines have confirmed an appearance as well as Fox Jaws and Hollywood Swank among many others.

I hope the concert attendees have a fantastic time as it is about time the hearing impaired joined in the diverse world of rock music.

Talk About Rock Music says:  Well done to this project for fonding a way to ensure everyone has the ability to listen and feel music.  Not just rock music but any variety could be done in this way.  We welcome everyone into the music world.  Rock on!!
