Sensit! announced the official market availability of the Feelbelt in the United States. This haptic feedback solution converts the full frequency spectrum of an audio program into haptic feedback in the form of vibrations using the company's patented software. 10 independent pulse generators transmit sounds around the body inducing the perception of directions, distance, and highs and lows of the individual tones.
Sensit! Was established in 2019 in Potsdam, Germany to transform digital experiences with immersive haptic feedback. Having started in the segment precisely with the Feelbelt and a Kickstarter campaign that was 100% funded in 48 hours and achieved 300% of its funding goal, at the end of 2022 the company evolved to pursue a B2B approach, collaborating with businesses to integrate its haptics technology into various products. The company's technology enhances user engagement in gaming, wellness and automotive applications, enabling manufacturers to create custom vibrational feedback and haptic solutions tailored to their unique needs.
The Feelbelt is a wearable device designed to enhance audio immersion by allowing users to feel the music, movies, and games they love. The design provides users with a sense of touch that complements the audio using advanced haptic feedback technology processed through the company's unique software. By processing the full program signal and not just the lower frequency content, the 10 independent haptic generators allow users to feel the beat of music, the rumble of explosions in games, and the feel the music as vibrations.
The Feelbelt is compatible with a wide range of devices, including smartphones, gaming consoles, and home theater systems, making it versatile for various entertainment setups. Users can fine-tune the intensity and frequency of vibrations to suit their preferences, creating a personalized audio experience. And the Feelbelt is also a valuable tool for people with hearing loss, allowing them to experience audio content through touch.
"Our mission is to transform the way people perceive and enjoy digital experiences. With the Feelbelt, we believe that sound becomes an even more immersive and memorable experience. Whether you're gaming, watching a movie, or simply enjoying your favorite music, Feelbelt takes it to the next level," said Benjamin Heese, CEO of Sensit!.
The Feelbelt is now available for purchase on the official website, feelbelt.com, as well as at select retail partners across the United States. It comes in two belt sizes and works with any audio input via 3.5mm jack or wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.0. It features a built-in battery, rechargeable via USB-C.
