Multi-Sensory Feedback

The simultaneous or coordinated use of multiple sensory channels—such as audio, haptic, visual, and sometimes olfactory or thermal—to convey information to a user. Multi-sensory feedback is a key accessibility strategy because it ensures that information is not conveyed through a single sense alone. In music technology, combining audio with vibrotactile feedback enables blind musicians to perceive rhythm, dynamics, and timing cues that sighted musicians typically receive visually.
