Kinetic Soul : 

Experiencing Dance through Touch

Designed by : Lim Shi Yun

Under the Supervision of Dr. Clement Zheng. 

To the visually impaired, connecting with someone’s dance is hard without sight. 

Kinetic Soul is a platform which enables the visually impaired to experience dance via kinetic feedback. Using a computer vision based system, a dancer’s movement is tracked, translated and conveyed through kinetic pins felt by the palms.
