HapLink — Feel the Experience

We make a user-friendly method for people to experience the feeling of actually being at a concert or live sporting event from home — through haptic sensors, lights, and sound.

What are haptics?

Technology that Simulates Touch

Haptics are the use of technology to stimulate the senses of touch and motion. In our case, we use haptics to make you feel like you're really at a sporting event or concert — with haptic sensors built right into wearable products.

We are a small robotics team in the Upper Valley competing in First Tech Challenge. HapLink is our Innovation Project.

Everything the Haptic Vest can do — but on the go. It doesn't matter where you are; put on the Haptic Hoodie and you're good to go!

Why HapLink?

Stop Overpaying for One Night

We noticed a big problem in entertainment and sports media — concerts and live sports are way too expensive.

The average Taylor Swift concert ticket costs

$1,011

Why spend that for one experience when you can spend way less money for many, many more? Our products make you feel like you're there — and our Haptic Linking system lets you share the experience with friends and family.
