Description(English)	Safe&Sound is a smart product to help deaf and hard-of-hearing(DHH) parents raise their babies, which consists of a sound receiver for babies and a smart wearable for DHH parents. Firstly, it can recognize crying sounds and alert DHH parents; second, when communicating with the baby, the product can convert the baby's voice into vibration intensity, which allows DHH parents to feel the baby's voice; in addition, through sound photography, DHH parents can record sound clips of communication store them together as digital memories to share with their child when he or she grows up. Keep babies safe and feel their sound.
Description(Native)	目前，很少设计或研究关注到聋人及听障父母，他们在社会上已经被边缘化。当他们抚养婴儿时，通常情况下对婴儿的哭声缺乏响应，也感受不到婴儿的笑声和咿呀学语，这给他们带来了许多困扰。尽管已经存在婴儿声音翻译器，但对于聋人及听障父母来说，他们不信任这种直接的翻译形式。Safe&Sound是一个温暖的设计，它减轻了聋人及听障父母抚养婴儿时的压力。Safe&Sound由婴儿端的声音接收器和父母端的智能可穿戴组成。首先，产品能识别婴儿的哭声并通过振动提醒不在婴儿身旁或在睡觉中的听障父母；其次，在和婴儿交流时，产品能将婴儿的声音的振幅和频率转化为振动强度，让聋人及听障父母感受婴儿的声音，结合经验更准确地判断婴儿的需求和情绪，使他们接近听力正常的父母;此外，通过声音摄影，聋人及听障父母能记录当时和婴儿交流的声音片段，并上传至云端形成声音可视化，他们也可以写下当时的心情，一同储存为数字记忆，在孩子长大后与他或她分享。父母端的产品有两种佩戴方式，满足不同场景，例如握持姿势可以让他们在和婴儿交流时，对产品产生的振动有更好的感知，当他们双手忙碌时，也可以将产品像项链一样挂在脖子上，并置于衣服内侧。在造型上，Safe&Sound强调美感，它看上去更像是配饰而非听障人士用品。
