HapWare (Techstars '25)

At HapWare, we believe access to information is a fundamental right, not a luxury. With our flagship product, ALEYE, we are creating a future where social interactions are both accessible and equitable by providing people who are blind, low vision, neurodivergent or deaf-blind with real-time access to nonverbal communication cues.HapWare's wearable device, ALEYE, uses a pair of glasses with an embedded camera to capture facial expressions, body language, and gestures, translating them into vibration patterns on the user’s wrist. With ALEYE, people can tell if someone is smiling, extending a handshake, waving, and much more!
