Haptic

Company

We’re building the third language of technology.

Sight dominated the last century. Sound followed. Now it’s time for touch.

“We’re building the third language of technology. Sight dominated the last century. Sound followed. Now it’s time for touch to have its moment. We’re not just making products. We’re creating an entirely new way for humans to feel information. When a blind runner crossed 15 miles of the NYC Marathon guided only by vibrations on his wrist, we knew this wasn’t just possible. It was inevitable.”

Kevin H Yoo CEO & Founder, Haptic

Mission

Redefine how humans intake information through technology. Making communication more intuitive, accessible and universally understood through the sense of touch.

Vision

A world where every person can navigate, communicate and experience technology through touch, regardless of ability, environment or attention constraints.

Proof

In 2017, we guided the first blind runner through 15 miles of the NYC Marathon. No sight. No sound. Just touch. That moment proved everything.
