Mays’s Heart

Discover the heart through haptics, sound and visuals

Mays’s Heart is an interactive educational story about dilated cardiomyopathy, a condition that causes the heart to become enlarged and weakened

Through hand drawn visuals, heartbeat sounds, soft ambient music and haptic feedback the experience helps children and adults understand how a heart with this condition may look, sound and beat

FOLLOW THE HEARTBEAT

Tap the heart in time with its beat using sound movement and haptic feedback as your guide

A heart monitor inspired progress bar shows whether your tap was

• Too early / Too late
• Almost there
• Perfectly on time

Your goal is to help the heart find a steadier rhythm

ACT LIKE A PACEMAKER

In the rhythm stage you take on the role of a pacemaker

By tapping in time with the heartbeat you help guide the heart toward a more stable rhythm while learning how pacemakers support the heart

CONNECT THE PULSES

Draw connections between pulses and help send signals across the heart

This activity is inspired by the way a pacemaker delivers coordinated electrical signals to different chambers helping them beat together

The heart changes as it beats while sound, vibration and animation work together to create the feeling of holding a beating heart
