HapticNav 1.4.5

HapticNav® is a haptic navigation application, supplemented with an optional HapticNav® wristband, designed to provide guidance to your destination through subtle vibrations, eliminating the reliance on visual or audio cues. Employing our patented Haptic Corridor™, the application functions akin to a compass, furnishing directional feedback based on your orientation. Within the Haptic Corridor™, vibrations are imperceptible; however, as you steer away from the correct heading, vibrations gradually intensify. Following extensive testing with a myriad of users, its intuitive design enables most individuals to discern the correct path sans explicit instructions. Notably, in 2017, Wayband® etched its mark in history by facilitating the participation of the first visually impaired individual in the NYC marathon independently, without the assistance of a sighted guide.

WearWorks® is a pioneering haptic platform enterprise dedicated to crafting products and immersive encounters that convey information through tactile sensation. Our ethos revolves around reimagining the skin as a high-fidelity conduit for communication, capable of imparting information in a more instinctual and unobtrusive manner. Our primary objective is to revolutionize navigational aids through the sense of touch.

A staggering 77% of global smartphone users engage with navigation applications on a monthly basis, predominantly reliant on visual and auditory cues for guidance. For the billions dependent on mapping applications in their daily routines, is the persistent gaze on screens or reliance on auditory guidance truly the pinnacle of navigational aid? Furthermore, for the approximated 285 million visually impaired individuals worldwide and the 466 million grappling with hearing impairments, this conventional approach remains inaccessible.

At WearWorks®, we envision an enhanced navigational paradigm – one that liberates your auditory and visual senses while providing essential information directly through your innate sense of touch. Embark on a tactile journey by downloading the HapticNav® App today.
