Already in the world

Bring your ideas into the physical world with SoundShirt and the professional tools CuteCircuit uses to create and deliver haptic experiences.

Bring the live audio channels into the Mac.
Shape the audio into a composition of touch.
Transmit the experience wirelessly to an audience.
Each setup is matched to your space and source material. Live microphones, audio interfaces, cabling and installation are scoped separately; authored or prerecorded experiences can use a different input path.
