Feel the Stars.
Experience the Vibes.
Astro brings live music to the body through haptic vibration vests designed for Deaf and hard-of-hearing concertgoers. The vests transform bass, rhythm, and sound into physical vibrations you can feel throughout the live experience.
This is not an add-on. It is a new standard for live events.

The Astro Experience
Wearing an ASTRO haptic vest changes the way live music is experienced. Every drop, bass hit, and rhythm becomes something you can physically feel while still being part of the energy of the crowd.
The goal is simple: make the music more immersive, more physical, and more connected for Deaf and hard-of-hearing fans.
You don’t just watch the show. You feel it.

What Powers Astro
Astro is powered by three core elements that work together to elevate both access and atmosphere.
FOR ARTISTS, FESTIVALS & VENUES
Everything Elevates
Astro brings haptic vibration vests directly into the live-event experience, giving artists, festivals, and venues a powerful new way to connect Deaf and hard-of-hearing fans with the music.
Fans Feel Seen, Not Managed
Astro gives Deaf and hard-of-hearing fans a direct way to physically connect with the music through haptic vibration. The goal is to make the experience feel natural, exciting, and part of the show, not separate from it.
Your Show Becomes the One People Talk About
Haptic vibration gives fans something they may have never experienced at a live event before: the ability to physically feel the music through the vest. It creates a memorable moment that can make the show stand out long after the final song.
Your Brand Leads the Future of Access
Offering haptic vibration vests shows that your organization is willing to explore new ways for Deaf and hard-of-hearing fans to experience live music. Partnering with Astro puts innovation and accessibility together in a way audiences can actually feel.
THE ORIGIN SPARK
The Moment That Changed Everything
My relationship with music has shaped me since I was young, even as a Deaf individual. I always wondered what live concerts truly felt like and how my experience might differ from what hearing audiences describe. That question stayed with me for years and quietly pushed me toward spaces where music, culture, and Deaf identity could meet.
Everything shifted in Rome, Italy, at a Coldplay concert that changed my understanding of what music could be. Surrounded by more than fifteen Deaf and hard-of-hearing friends, I felt a level of connection I had never experienced before. Coldplay used vibration technology and intentional design to make the show immersive, and for the first time, the music reached me in a way that felt powerful, emotional, and real. That night revealed what live entertainment could become when every sense is invited into the moment. It did not fade. It demanded purpose. It demanded change.
Why can’t every live event offer this level of experience for Deaf and hard-of-hearing people around the world?
