In an extraordinary fusing of textiles and robotics, the Flutter
functional garment was design to aid individuals with hearing
impairments “feel” the sounds of the world around them. Within the
cotton and polyester dress lies an inner framework of microphones and
vibrating leaflets that detect the direction of sound. Leaflets nearest
the sound are triggered to flutter in that direction, giving the wearer
an alternative sensory awareness of their surroundings.
