Product design question

Design a music product for deaf people.

Practice this question out loud. An AI interviewer asks it, follows up like a real interviewer would, and scores your answer. Type or speak.

What this question tests

Tests inclusive product design that translates an inherently audio experience into a genuinely accessible one, not just a token accommodation.

Reframe the real need: many deaf and hard-of-hearing people want to experience music's rhythm and emotional and social role, not literally hear it.
Identify the gap: current music products are audio-first with no tactile or visual layer, excluding deaf users from concerts and music-based social features.
Design haptic feedback that translates rhythm and bass into vibration, plus synchronized visual displays where color and motion track musical dynamics.
Curate playlists optimized for strong bass and rhythm, since those translate best to tactile feedback.
Define success as session length and return usage among deaf users, and a survey on whether they felt the music, not just streams played.

Reframes the goal correctly, feeling music rather than hearing it, instead of assuming captions alone are the answer.
Grounds the haptic approach in real precedent, wearable haptic vests used at concerts for deaf attendees, so it doesn't sound untested.
Defines a success metric that actually measures the intended experience, not just usage volume.

Assuming lyrics or captions alone solve this, which addresses spoken content, not the musical or rhythmic experience.
Designing without consulting or referencing the deaf community's actual stated preferences.

How would you validate this concept with the deaf community before building it?
How would you measure whether users feel this genuinely replicates a musical experience?
