Afference: Spatial Computing Ring

Neural haptics at your fingertips

We compressed powerful neural stimulation technology into a ring form factor, enabling tactile feedback bridging the digital and physical world.

The Challenge

Can neural stimulation technology fit into a miniature wearable on your finger? Can this be showcased as a compelling AR/VR accessory at the world's biggest consumer electronics show in a few months?

Our Approach

Tactile First Impressions: We built a stimulation performance-focused set of prototypes for supporting demos on the show floor.

Pathways to Possibility: Our team built flexible protocols to enable further stimulation experimentation.

Bridging Human & Machine: We developed a PC SDK to enable the Afference development team to integrate.

Our Solution

Igor shrunk a handful of computing and neural stimulation into a ring in an impossibly tight timeline.
