Tangio Hapmantics™, the Next-gen Smart Headset with a patent-pending Haptic & Audio Interface to reinvent digital communication It is the first truly haptic headphone incorporating a new layer in communication, a tangible interface, empowered by the first haptic-based semantic library, to provide surround haptic stimulations and multi-sensorial sound experience to reinvent remote conversations and digital interaction. It allows users not only to hear but also to feel the conversation in real-time, communicating both verbally and “tangibly". The intervention also delivers the first haptic-based semantic dataset, a dictionary of haptic recipes, or haptic emojis which understand your conversation, and pair the “right” stimulus with the “appropriate” contexts in real-time. 400 haptic representations from 45 main sequences were examined by users and transferred into 20 haptic recipes, towards which users have similar perceptions relating to the designed contexts. It offers a multi-sensorial audio experience when listening to music, watching movies, or playing games according to the audio frequency and sound waves. Users can also engage directly with the touch panel during a call to communicate real-time gestures, touches, or other physical interactions to the receiver.
