Abstract
A vibration inducing tactile apparatus is configured for introducing audio-based vibrations into them body of a user. The apparatus includes a housing, with the housing having a top panel for supporting the user. A digital sound processor is installed in the housing, with the digital sound processor in communication with a controller. The housing further includes a speaker array and a low pass filter in communication with the digital sound processor, with the low pass filter in communication with a primary amplifier. A speaker array is driven by a secondary amplifier, and a first transducer and a second transducer are driven by the primary amplifier. The digital sound processor modifies a first signal sent to the first transducer relative to a second signal sent to the second transducer, such that the audio-based vibrations have resonating frequencies and are transferred from the apparatus to the user.
