At NECARDI, we are all about design inclusivity and empathetic design practices. Our mission is to design, test and develop our products alongside our end-users. We believe that by working closely with these individuals, you ensure the product grows and develops alongside the users individual needs and desires. This ensures it is something they are proud to use/wear and something that truly makes a difference in their lives.

Audic’s mission is to empower the deaf, hard of hearing, deaf cultured and bi-cultured community through a device that not only enhances the wearers ability to perceive sound direction, intensity, and rhythm in real time, but also challenges stigmas and promotes inclusivity through its aesthetic and empathetic design.

Audic is a user-customisable wearable that translates sound into tactile haptic vibrations providing a unique sensory experience that reflects the wearers surrounding sound scape as it shifts throughout their day.
