Description
In a world built around sight and hearing, individuals with deafblindness often face profound challenges. For them, touch becomes essential for everyday tasks such as navigation. Our assistive ring wearable, the HapRing, addresses this need by delivering guidance and safety through localized squeezing and shear sensations enabled by reversible, on-demand deformation of our haptic polymer technology. Designed for socially accommodating assistance, it aids in demanding situations like crossing traffic lights, passing train station gates, or avoiding danger zones. Beyond accessibility, we envision HapRing as a foundation for broader adoption of our disruptive technology in immersive virtual, mixed, and augmented reality.
