Haptic

United States

At Haptic, we’re building a universal language of touch that makes digital experiences instinctive, not just seen or heard. Our patented haptic systems translate spatial and contextual data into intuitive vibration patterns across phones, wearables, and future interfaces, helping people navigate, communicate, and act with confidence in the real world. We design for accessibility first, then scale that advantage into mainstream products, from mobility and venues to safety-critical use cases. If you’re building the next generation of human centered technology, we’d love to collaborate.

About me

Kevin Yoo builds Haptic like a designer-engineer with a global mission, and he’s obsessive about proving impact in the real world. He’s personally walked and tested HapticNav in dense cities like New York, shaped by the early moment that sparked Haptic’s purpose, and he’s now scaling a patented “language of touch” that already helped guide a blind runner through the NYC Marathon without sighted assistance, translating that same reliability into mobility, airports, and large venues so accessibility becomes default.
