Beautiful visuals once again! Your idea of sound vibrations is something I've never heard of before.

Do you think similar effects could be attained if someone were to turn up the bass on their speakers up really high (and strategically positioned their subwoofer of course)?

This is a fascinating proposal and looks like a value added experience for the hearing impaired and unimpaired alike.

I presume the headsets are noise canceling so the viewers can watch a movie and not be distracted by, talking parrots, for example.

As always, Dattebayo, your use of visuals is exemplary & this extended pdf was a pleasure to look at. Nevertheless, I didn't see any evidence of you having carried out a simulation activity (which is clearly specified in the challenge criteria). Your modified theatre could meet the needs of participants with both normal hearing & no hearing but I thought you could have better highlighted the potential for accommodating a continuum of functioning. You include no references & (I hate to harp on this) once again your written English would have benefitted from an editor.

You did gain points for your attempts to generate dialogue!

To answer your question Clariss: No, I don't think you did. :)

As cool as that theatre system would be (I'd be the first in line to watch the new Indiana Jones movie there on May 22), this group seemed to miss the mark on this submission.

Indeed, the design and layout of the .ppt were highly professional. This group has great visual design talent, and has consistently put it to good use throughout these challenges. The content, however, just didn't fit the bill.

Too bad, too, since there was some good lively discussion and insight generated in the forums.
