The device, which consists of two ankle bands, two wrist bands and a backpack that fastens with double straps over the rib cage, is sometimes being used by people who are deaf or have hearing loss. “There’s real potential for you to actually feel music in your body,” said Jay Alan Zimmerman, a deaf composer and musician who has tested the suits. Haptic suits, which are also used in virtual reality and video games, have been around for several decades. But suits developed by Music: Not Impossible, a company based in Philadelphia, are unique because the devices turn individual notes of music into specific vibrations. Mick Ebeling, the founder of Not Impossible Labs, first hoped to find a better way for deaf people to experience music. But the company’s mission soon expanded to a goal of creating a tactile experience of music that was available for everyone, including people without hearing loss. In recent months, the suits have been available at events including a silent disco night at Lincoln Center, a performance at Opera Philadelphia and a Greta Van Fleet concert.
