Haptic and Mapbox: Revolutionize the Way You Navigate
For travelers navigating a sea of people, finding your way out of the airport and to your ride or pick-up zone can feel like a daunting mission. With Haptic’s vibration-based navigation combined with Mapbox location services, these stressful tasks can become seamless and enjoyable experiences.
Bringing Accessible Mobility to the Forefront
Experience seamless navigation with Haptic's vibrational feedback technology integrated into Mapbox's advanced maps.
Navigating chaotic or new environments can be particularly challenging, especially for individuals with visual impairments and mobility issues. At Haptic, we believe everyone deserves the ability to move freely and confidently. By integrating with dynamic mapping and navigation solutions from Mapbox, Haptic makes it easier for companies to champion the future of navigation.
What This Means for Accessible Navigation:
Real-Time Location Services: Mapbox provides high-fidelity maps, route planning, and directions, ensuring users have a seamless navigation experience.
Tactile Feedback: Haptic’s unique touch-based feedback system delivers real-time tactile cues, guiding users through their environment with precision and ease without the need to look at a map. This intuitive system makes navigation more accessible than ever.
Our collaboration is driven by a shared commitment to inclusivity, innovation, and improving the quality of life for all individuals.

The Future of Our Technologies
Picture this: You step off the plane and begin your journey through the airport. Surrounded by the noise and chaos of hundreds of people, you head toward the rideshare pick-up area. Instead of dreading your next steps, you are equipped with resources to significantly improve your experience: a detailed map of the airport provided by Mapbox and the ability to ‘feel your way’ through your journey with vibration-feedback from Haptic. This technology, available on your phone or smartwatch, allows you to navigate new and chaotic environments, freeing your eyes and ears, and guiding you to your destination through vibrations.
The Haptic Experience with Mapbox
The Haptic and Mapbox partnership represents a unique opportunity for both companies to enhance their capabilities and lead the way in inclusivity and advanced mapping solutions. With customizable mapping solutions and detailed map data from Mapbox, combined with Haptic’s innovative tactile feedback, we will introduce a new world of quicker, more accurate, and safer navigation. This includes intuitive tactile guidance for users with self-location, addressing growing accessibility demands and new policies under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the European Accessibility Act.
Enhance the Rideshare Experience: Rideshare companies connect users with on-demand transportation options that fit their needs, providing custom-fit rides at the touch of a button. With Haptic’s solution, users no longer need to read license plates or waste time searching for their cars. Instead, haptic vibrations guide them to their vehicles, enabling them to find their drivers more reliably, quickly, and intuitively, saving time and headaches for users while allowing drivers to complete more rides with quicker turnarounds.
Navigate Airports with Confidence: Airlines and airports want their patrons to have an enjoyable and efficient experience, but far too often passengers get lost navigating the terminal or finding their rideshare zone. By combining Haptic feedback with precise map data for airports, everyone can feel like they know an airport’s layout by heart.
Travel & Explore New Destinations: Hotels, office buildings, event venues, conference centers, shopping malls, stadiums, and more are adopting advanced mapping solutions. We imagine a near future where venues can combine that with Haptic’s vibration-based directions to help everyone find their way easily.
Haptic’s dedication to impacting organizations like The National Federation of the Blind, American Association of Retired Persons, Lighthouse Guild, and more allows direct access to user feedback about the challenges of current navigation. By leveraging the combined strengths of Haptic and Mapbox, our technologies will empower and unify a mobility ecosystem that not only prioritizes accessibility but also enhances the overall travel experience for everyone.
