Typeware's team is building haptic feedback in. We'd love to show you an important milestone in this trajectory.
Why haptic feedback
As Typeware's device set functions by combining buttons and hand-tracking, it's useful to immediate know if the system recognizes what you want to do with it. The LED colors already signal different modes, but as the device set is designed to be used by people who type blindly, the feedback must be haptic. Your fingers, hands and wrists need to feel that they are doing the right thing.
Relearn typing and mousing much faster
We are installing gentle vibrations that will immediately let you know how the system interpretss what exactly you are doing with your hands.
This allows you to use Typeware's devices as computer input for daily computer work. But more importanly, it shortens the time to relearn typing and mousing.
We reached an important milestone in creating haptic feedback for our wearable computer input device. The following shows that we managed to only locally provide a gentle vibration.
To set this in perspective: when mobile phones, VR controllers and many game controllers vibrate, your entire hand feels it.
To demonstrate the locality of the gentle vibrations, Laurens uses a glass as a soundbox to audibilize the vibration.
