Shaping the Future of Haptics
On January 20, 2025, The Sense and Vibra Nova organized a collaborative workshop rich in discussions on haptics and its applications. This meeting, driven by innovation, highlighted promising perspectives for research and the development of this technology.
Vibra Nova is a company specializing in advanced haptic technologies. It stands out for its development of ultrasonic solutions that provide precise tactile feedback without direct physical contact. These technologies open the door to groundbreaking applications across various sectors, including industry, healthcare, and education.
An Encounter Driving Innovation
Matthieu Rupin, CTO and co-founder of Vibra Nova, and Olivier Lorentz, Executive Director of The Sense, shared their enthusiasm about the exchange:
“The idea was to meet researchers from The Sense to assess the potential of the ultrasonic haptics we are developing in their research and thinking. These interactions will hopefully lead to one or more research projects, given the richness and quality of the topics discussed during this workshop.” — Matthieu Rupin
“Collaborating with SMEs developing new technologies is one of the pillars of The Sense. I am looking forward to seeing these discussions evolve into collaborations between Vibra Nova and The Sense teams.” — Olivier Lorentz
This day highlighted the strong complementarity between the expertise of both entities. Together, they are exploring how ultrasonic haptics—next-generation technology for tactile feedback—can sustainably transform human–machine interaction, enhance learning, and contribute to innovative therapeutic solutions.
