Description

HapticNav® is a haptic navigation app, paired with an optional HapticNav® wristband, that gently guides you to your destination using vibration, without the need for any visual or audio feedback. Our patented Haptic Corridor™ works like a compass, giving you feedback based on the direction you are facing. When you are in the Haptic Corridor™ you feel no vibrations at all. When you turn you begin to feel a slight vibration. And that vibration gets stronger the more you turn away from the correct direction. We tested with 1000s of users and it is so intuitive, most can figure out the correct way to go without any instruction. In 2017, Wayband® made history when it helped the first person who is blind to run in the NYC marathon, without being tethered to a sighted guide.

WearWorks® is a haptic platform company. We build products and experiences that communicate information through touch. Our mission is to reimagine the skin as a high fidelity communications channel capable of giving you information in a more intuitive and less obtrusive way. And our first goal is to revolutionize navigation for the sense of touch.

77% of global smartphone users use navigation apps monthly. Navigation is communicated entirely through vision and audition. For the billions of us who rely on mapping applications for our daily lives, is the need to constantly staring at a screen, or listening to a voice, while getting from one place to another really the best we can do? And even more, for the 285 million people world-wide living with a visual impairment, and the 466 million living with a hearing impairment, that status quo is inaccessible.

We see a better way to navigate. One that frees your ears and eyes while giving you all the information you need directly through your natural sense of touch. Download the HapticNav® App to feel your way... anywhere.

Cannot navigate without this!

The Wayband has completely changed the way I interact with navigation. I am a sighted individual with no blind or visual impairment, and this was still necessary for me to travel around a new city I have never been to. The haptic vibration is the best on the market and I believe this would be extremely impactful to be build upon Google or Apple Maps. Maybe you can license this haptic experience to them? Millions would use this daily!

Useful app

This app is useful for people who are visually impaired, like me. It guides me precisely to my destination as I walk through the door. However, there is one thing that could be improved. When I walk through a mall with many restaurants, the app can’t direct me to the specific address I'm looking for; instead, it only guides me to the mall entrance. Nonetheless, thank you so much for creating such a helpful app!

Getting better

It’s been interesting to get around through vibrations only for the first few days but now that I’m used to it, I can’t go back. Looking at a phone to see where I’m going feels unnecessary. Good job, it’s improving a lot weekly.
