Balance
A fun tactile mobile app that responds to your strength and balance
Balance is an iOS app for monitoring your balance through music and sound.
The app was designed as a prototype system for improving balance for those with diminishing motor functions using audio feedback. It responds in real-time to your movement and helps track your balance as you try and hold a specific muscular position.
The video demonstrates one example of how Balance can be used.
Stand up, arm out stretched, and balance a mobile device on your hand. You can hear your own strength and when it starts to waver.
Balance provides adaptive feedback as you fall under the strain. Move and the sound moves with you, drop your arms and you lose the sonic balance.
