Join the Beta Test for HET: Wearable Assistive Technology
The HET is a groundbreaking wearable device designed to support individuals who are blind, low vision or on the autism spectrum by providing real-time insights into nonverbal communication cues (NVC) during social interactions. Using AI and computer vision, HET translates facial expressions, gestures and body language captured by an embedded camera into dynamic haptic sensations on a wearable sleeve, allowing users to intuitively interpret emotions and actions like smiles, handshakes or waves. Developed with user feedback to ensure accuracy and ease of use, HET empowers users to navigate social interactions confidently, improving opportunities in both personal and professional settings. If you'd like to be part of this innovative journey and help shape the future of assistive technology, join our beta testing program today!
