BEYOND HEARING

Unleash Deaf people’s Hearing Superpower











Overview
“Unleashing Deaf people’s hearing superpower”

Beyond Hearing is an augmented reality interface, localising sound with a multi-sense feedback system to improve Deaf people’s safety, communication and daily sound engagement.

Deaf people lacks the ability of sound localisation which might lead to dangerous accidents. Besides, car flashing by without having any sound cue increases mental pressure when Deaf people go out. Beyond Hearing assists them with visual and haptic signals to solve this problem.
