The 2024 Paralympics are here, and athletes such as blind runners have to rely on a tethered guide to compete. Numerous times, this has ended with guides falling mid-race and taking the runners with them. What if there was a simple solution to change the way these athletes could perform? That's where HapticNav comes in. We did it with Simon Wheatcroft, a blind runner who made history by successfully completing the NYC Marathon with our technology. In 2021, we met with Daniela Velasco, a Paralympic runner, and donated our technology in hopes of showcasing the future of the Paralympics. To Daniela, our technology provided a new sense of freedom. For Haptic, it's all about making the world a bit more accessible for everyone. One athlete, One rider, One person at a time. See what Daniela had to say about our technology: https://lnkd.in/gzmgqfFN #HapticFuture #Paralympics #HapticTechnology #FutureOfNavigation.

In 2009, Google released turn-by-turn mapping, which was revolutionary at the time and completely changed how people interacted with navigation. However, 18 years later, there have been no significant changes. The creation of HapticNav brought a much-needed pivot in technology and a fresh look at the future of navigation. As the patent owners and pioneers of haptic navigation, we're delivering a whole new way to experience your surroundings—one that you will not only see, but truly feel.

Thank you Curious Monica 🎙 for the wonderful platform. We had the chance to share impactful information for founders creating positive impact in the world. I’m grateful to continuously lead Haptic on our meaningful mission to genuinely improve people’s lives with technology. “Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” - T.R. A great thank you to our first investor SOSV / Sean O'Sullivan for believing in us. It taught me early on that we have the ability to change the world.
