For more than a decade, whenever 26-year-old Lauren Fox watched live music, she would focus on the vibrations of one instrument.
"I would just dance following the drumbeat because that was the only part [of the music] I could really connect to," says Lauren, who is a Deaf person.
So earlier this year when Lauren attended a festival with a haptic vest, a wearable device that transmits different sounds as vibrations on the skin, it wasn't a strange experience.
But she says it was a connection to music she'd never had before.
