Quietude is a collection of interactive jewels that enhance the experience of sound for deaf women. They detect sounds and translate them into vibrations, light and shape changes. The jewelry collection is completed by an app for smartphone allowing personalization of both input and output, and the construction of a personal library of sounds that can be monitored for and replayed on demand through the jewels. The project has been developed in co-design sessions with deaf women to enable the development of accessories that respond to the emergent discoveries and desires.
