HapWare is a Colorado-based company that has been a friend of the National Federation of the Blind of Colorado for years. Whether sponsoring the 6 Dot Dash, presenting to our chapters, participating in events at the Colorado Center for the Blind, or supporting our state convention, they have consistently invested in our community and our shared belief that accessibility and innovation go hand in hand. ALEYE is designed to make nonverbal communication more accessible by translating facial expressions, gestures, and body language into vibration patterns that can be felt through a wristband. The result is a tool that opens access to information many people receive visually every day.
This recognition from TIME is an exciting achievement, but it is also a reminder of what can happen when blind people are involved in shaping technology from the very beginning.
Congratulations to the entire HapWare team and our gratitude for their friendship, support, and commitment to advancing accessibility.
If you are attending the upcoming National Federation of the Blind National Convention, be sure to visit HapWare in the exhibit hall. Their team will be demonstrating ALEYE, and you'll have an opportunity to experience the technology firsthand. You can also check out their website to learn more at https://hapware.com/
Congratulations again to HapWare on this outstanding accomplishment. We look forward to seeing what comes next!
