About Tactical Haptics
Tactical Haptics was founded by Professor William Provancher in 2013. The objective of this company is to commercialize Reactive Grip touch feedback, which was developed in Dr. Provancher’s University of Utah Laboratory, the Haptics and Embedded Mechatronics Lab. The company’s initial focus is on commercializing the use of Reactive Grip touch feedback in the fields of virtual reality, augmented reality, and video games. Reactive Grip touch feedback creates engaging physical interaction in virtual environments that significantly improves upon the realism of interactions compared to “rumble” vibration feedback. Future applications could include navigation aids for the blind, minimally invasive surgery, and upper limb rehabilitation.
