The Universal Language of Touch

Research powered. Patent backed. Built to scale human guidance.

HapticLab is the research and product engine behind corridor based navigation. We translate spatial data into tactile signals that keep people oriented with minimal cognitive load.

// HAPTICLINE CORE (excerpt)
pipeline = [
  sense.gps(), fuse.imu(),
  map.corridor(width=0.36, /* redacted */),
  encode.haptics(curve="smoothstep", clamp=0..1)
]
signal.profile = \"corridor\"
signal.base = 0.00
signal.threshold = corridor.width / 2
signal.distance = abs(position - corridor.center)
signal.outside = max(0, signal.distance - signal.threshold)
signal.intensity = smoothstep(signal.outside) * gain(/* redacted */)
signal.color = mix(lime, cyan, intensity)
guidance = intensity > 0 ? \"correct\" : \"silent\"

What the lab builds

HapticSandboxRapid haptic prototyping with reusable signal blocks.

HapticHealthClinical and wellness focused haptic research and tooling.

HapticGamingCustom haptic libraries for immersive play.

HapticAlertsConsistent, attention safe notification patterns.

HapticNav corridor interaction

Use the corridor simulator to feel how intensity changes as you drift from center. The signal stays quiet until you leave the safe zone.
