Yes. Bass shakers, or tactile transducers, can be fixed to almost anything. Fix one under a floor and it will shake.
But when people step onto a Beat Blocks floor for the first time, something different happens. They stop. They look down. Then they start to grin. That moment has very little to do with shaking.
New to transducers? Start with Bass shakers and tactile transducers explained.
Shaking is easy. Feeling the music is the hard part.
A floor that rumbles with the bass gives you one sensation, again and again. Music isn’t like that. A kick drum, a bassline and a rhythm all feel different. A track builds, drops and breathes. A floor that can carry all of that, so you feel the song rather than just the volume, is a different thing altogether.
Designed with the music
At Beat Blocks, our haptic floor modules have been designed by a team with decades of combined experience in the live music industry. Quiet passages feel quiet. The build-up rises through your feet. The drop lands in your whole body. Built-in lighting responds to the music too, making it a multisensory, immersive experience.
Designed for everyone on it
Beat Blocks began as a way for d/Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people to share live music with everyone else. On the floor, everyone feels the same moment together, whether or not they can hear it. That shared moment is what people remember.
Designed to go anywhere
The Beat Blocks floor works in all kinds of live music settings: festival fields, concert halls, galleries, clubs, experiential brand launches and our own Haptic Yoga sessions. It takes the shape the space needs and creates the same experience wherever it goes.
