Startup company oMoo has developed a new app that allows users to experience music through touch alone. Using haptic technology, the app translates music into real-time vibrations that users can feel through their smartphone. This innovation not only aims to make music more accessible to people with hearing impairments but also offers a unique sensory experience to anyone interested in exploring new ways to engage with music.
Created by Jemmy Lee, the app was inspired by his grandmother’s challenges with hearing loss. With five haptic styles and unlimited intensity levels to choose from, users can customize their music experience. The free version of the app allows users to experience haptic versions of songs up to 30 seconds long from Apple Music and SoundCloud, with options to import music and premium subscriptions for extra features available.
Originally launched as Tempo-Pulse, the app has been rebranded as oMoo and is available for free on the iPhone, with premium options available for a monthly, yearly, or lifetime fee. oMoo joins a growing trend of apps and devices that are using sensory technologies to make music more inclusive and ensure that everyone can experience music in a way that suits them. This innovative approach to music consumption is a step forward in revolutionizing the way we connect with and enjoy music.
