Company Summary

We believe in a future where distance doesn’t stand in the way of feeling present and being connected. VR and AR hold the promise of being at the core of how we work, play, and interact for the following decades, but there is something missing: our sense of touch.

We are creating a hw/sw device that uses ultrasound to digitize touch. A haptic interface that allows you to use your bare hands as physical manipulators in the virtual world.
