From the people we make it for
CC · 1:24"The people want to feel music, to make them feel good, and so people can dance, and just want to be there, and just vibe."
CC · 1:30"It's really cool to feel the music in the way that you're moving your body. It's kind of a mind, body, ear, cochlear implant connection."
"The touchpoints place the magic of music on to the individual, and it is - in a word - breathtaking. I shrugged into a Tactus jacket for the first time, and while I have always connected deeply with music, this was the first time that I truly felt it."
"Working with Tactus vests has been an incredibly meaningful addition to our music program at Beverly School for the Deaf (CCCBSD). For our Deaf Education students, the vests serve as a powerful tool to access sound through vibration, enhancing their ability to perceive and engage with music."

Tactus was made with the Deaf community from day one. Today we keep showing up, with programs that bring people together to feel music side by side.
Featured case study
We brought VibeWear to the Tokyo Deaflympics, where Deaf athletes and fans from around the world felt music move across their bodies for the very first time. For many, it was the first time they could experience a song as a full-body sensation.
It was proof of what we believe: connection doesn't always need sound, and music belongs to everyone.
A collaboration with purpose
Cherry Willow Apparel is a nonprofit that makes clothing rooted in unconditional love, on a mission to support people impacted by homelessness. We made a small collection together that carries both of our missions: music everyone can feel, and a hand held out to people who need one. Wear it, and you're part of both.

Jeremy Chow, founder of Tactus, joined Right Here in Mass to talk about the wearable device he built to make music more accessible for the Deaf community. He shared how a chance meeting with a professor sparked the original design, why building directly with the community shaped key design pivots, and his advice for founders taking a side project full time.
