With ties to Univerity of Utah and Stanfordin CA, Tactical Haptics is revolutionizing human-machine interfaces through a new type of touch feedback that is more realistic than industry-standard vibration feedback Reactive Grip touch feedback. The companys initial target market is virtual reality (VR), where its touch feedback will create fully immersive experiences to make VR (and AR) compelling to millions of users. Reactive Grip touch feedback creates engaging physical interaction in virtual environments that significantly improves upon the realism of interactions compared to rumble vibration feedback. Other applications include navigation aids for the blind, physical therapy (e.g., upper limb rehabilitation), robotic and minimally invasive surgery, piloting drones/UAVs, sports/swing training, education, and telerobotics.
