- Company Description
- Afference is developing a mobile, transparent, and universal haptic device based on foundational IP focused on creating an artificial sensation of touch through neurostimulation. Existing haptic devices on the market either rely on standalone hardware or are bulky (and often tethered) devices that are not functional in most use cases. Afference's inaugural prototype, The Phantom, boasts a longer battery life than the average headset, is non-invasive - enabling hand tracking capabilities -, and is compatible with any device.
