The idea of ​​the instrument "music" is that a child with visual impairment and another with hearing impairment can sit opposite each other and use their available senses together.

Bulgarian visual artist Polina Gerasimova explains her invention with these words.

With a team of engineers and musicians, she created an instrument with which children with hearing and vision impairments can create music in color.

It is an instrument that uses infrared sensors to detect movements and create music.

Infrared sensors detect hand movements with which children make sounds, so children with visual impairments can hear the music, while children with hearing impairments can see it.

Designers have incorporated a large number of different tones, sounds and effects.

Polina also explained how "music" is used in the following video of Radio Free Europe.
