Hello Community,
I am not personally deaf, but had a dear friend pass away from an accident some years back. The cause of the accident I believe is highly more avoidable with the hardware I have been developing for the last few years.
I have been working on a spacial awareness technology for the deaf, and have found methods of also combining it with PC gaming(less important, but doesn't cost me extra to integrate, so why not?) to help give players who are deaf better situational awareness in games and not just in reality due to lack of sound.
I am looking for opinions on the interface I have developed, as well as people who would like to help test the hardware involved, and give me honest feedback and opinions that they think would help make it better. I already have prototypes in the wild being tested for day to day use, but am specifically interested in feedback from gamers for further development.
The hardware itself is compatible with most PC hardware, OS, and games. It also works as a stand alone unit for daily life (since that's what I had originally developed it for). I am willing to ship you a unit for testing at no cost (but your feedback) as long as you are legally deaf, own a gaming capable PC with a good selection of modern titles(2012+), live in the U.S. and are 18 years of age or older, or have parent/guardian make request. I will also ask that you sign a liability waiver and a non disclosure agreement regarding the prototype/beta hardware/software.
I currently only have three prototype units left available that aren't spoken for, so let me know sooner rather than later. Each unit will be custom tailored for the end user, so please allow up to a month to receive. I will hopefully have my safety/material testing phases complete, and units ready for babies and toddlers within the next few months as well if you are an interested parent.
This is not a paying gig, but a chance at helping to improve your life, as well as the lives of those with disabilities for free. So, if you want to be a part of that please send me a message, or leave one here. Thanks for your time!
