What is oMoo?
oMoo is an AI-driven haptic music player that can let everyone touch the pulse, texture, and rhythm of music on their phones. We want to bring the power and beauty of music to everyone, including people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Problem
Users, especially those who are deaf or hard of hearing, rely on visual or auditory methods (e.g., captions, vibrations) to experience music, lacking tactile immersion in rhythm, texture, and emotional depth.
Solution
A mobile app (AI-driven haptic music player) that converts music into real-time tactile feedback via smartphone vibrations, enabling users to physically feel music’s pulse and texture through their hands. Example: A deaf user feels a piano melody as gentle taps and a drumbeat as rhythmic pulses.
Customers
Deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals, music therapists, accessibility advocates, and immersive tech enthusiasts seeking inclusive music experiences.
Unique Features
AI maps audio frequencies to unique haptic patterns, creating multi-layered tactile feedback synchronized with music. Works on standard smartphones without additional hardware.
