Specifications

Haptic motors are seamlessly integrated into soft goods, and then programmatically actuate in response to certain stimuli. Similarly, we have also developed mobile electrical stimulation solutions for pain management and recovery.

Haptics

Portfolio of haptic options for feedback and therapeutics

  • ERMs and LRAs (Rated voltage 3VDC, Rated current 60mA max, Rated speed 13,000 + 3000rpm)
  • Directional haptics
  • Piezo haptics
  • Active Polymer (long term)

Pathways

Wiring strategically placed for optimum comfort.

Charge patch

Patches that distribute power for EMS and TENS.

Waterproof

Protected via silicone and TPU encapsulation

Discreet Feedback Technologies

Our feedback suite contains three main technologies, Haptics, TENS, and EMS. Our seamlessly integrated haptic system is extremely versatile and has seen use-cases ranging from vibration for posture correction, tactile feedback for computer-based peripherals, and the creation of immersive XR garments. Our work in TENS and EMS is focused around the development of wearables for chronic pain management and muscle recovery, in a soft, lightweight form factor.
