MAXIS Deria Takbir

No sound is more beautiful to Muslims than the sound of Takbir Raya (a special call-to-prayer). Yet to the deaf community, it’s just plain silence. They couldn’t experience this important part of the Raya celebration, nor participate together with the crowd. 

Maxis believes that technology is only meaningful when it’s inclusive. The Deria Takbir app was created to convert the sound waves of Takbir into cymatic visual patterns and haptic vibrations in real-time, allowing the deaf community to feel the Takbir’s rhythm and melody, and join others celebrating.
