Lofelt unlocks the power of haptics in mobile devices through state-of-the-art technologies for iOS and Android developers and creatives.
Our first product was a wearable subwoofer called "the Basslet," launched in 2017, following a successful Kickstarter campaign. We have also successfully launched products with tier-1 brands that utilize Lofelt haptic technology, including the Razer Nari Ultimate headset and Teenage Engineering OP-Z "Rumble." In 2019, we published the VT-1 Specification Proposal, providing objective parameters and requirements for creating high-quality, realistic user experiences through vibrotactile (VT) haptic feedback.
Our latest product is Lofelt Studio, a suite of creative tools that enable developers and creatives to rapidly design, test and integrate tactile effects for mobile. Sign up to try Lofelt Studio now: lofelt.com
