For those who attend a football match but cannot hear, they miss a crucial part of the overall experience. While they can still see what happens on the field, they miss the reaction of the rest of the stands, the referee whistling for offside, the music blasting from the speakers after a goal to truly feel the moment. The American Not Impossible Labs created special suits to help compensate for this loss for deaf individuals, and they found two enthusiastic partners in Citymesh and the Club Brugge Foundation to live-test their solution during a match.
All the audio audible during the match was converted in real-time into vibrations by the “vibration DJ” from Not Impossible Labs, which the six test subjects could immediately feel. This was made possible, in part, thanks to the lightning-fast 5G connection provided by Citymesh. The six fans who had the opportunity to test such suits clearly responded with enthusiasm to this trial. They returned home with a positive feeling as their Club Brugge won the match 3-0, causing more than just the nets to tremble.
