Custom Development Services

Hapbeat provides end-to-end development across hardware (mechanical and electrical) and software — from a handful of prototypes to small-batch production of several hundred units, applying know-how gained from developing and manufacturing its own products.

• Custom Hardware Development

  Prototyping and small-batch production from a few units to several hundred, at low cost. Example: the Hapbeat product line.

• Sensing System Development

  Measurement and integration systems using microcontrollers. Examples: the Deaflympics venue system and a biometric monitor integration system.

• Software Tool Development

  Desktop applications, SDKs, and streaming tools. Examples: a VTuber streaming tool (React), a stylus-pen vibration tool (Windows), and the Hapbeat SDK.

• Website Development

  Corporate and documentation websites. Examples: hapbeat.com and devtools.hapbeat.com.

• Comprehensive Support for Adopting Haptics

  For customers who want to make use of haptic technology, Hapbeat supports the whole path from technology survey and hardware selection through development and manufacturing.

Case Studies

A selection of systems delivered for clients, along with systems developed and operated for Hapbeat's own business.

• Deaflympics Judo Venue System

  In-house

  Hapbeat developed a vibration system that broadcasts venue audio to 100 devices simultaneously with low latency, and operated it throughout the tournament. See the case study page for details.

  

• Audio Broadcast System

  In-house

  Developed an ESP-NOW-based system that broadcasts audio to many devices at low latency without a Wi-Fi access point — the foundation for large multi-unit deployments at exhibitions and events. See the technical article for details.

• Biometric Monitor Integration System

  Client

  Built a system that links microcontroller-based measurement equipment with Hapbeat to signal changes in biometric data through vibration. See the article.

  

• Hapbeat SDK & Developer Tools

  In-house

  Hapbeat designs and develops its developer software in-house — the Unity SDK, the web-based vibration editor (Hapbeat Studio), and device management tools — published on the developer portal.

• Stylus Haptics Application (Windows)

  Client

  Contract-developed a Windows application that sends haptic feedback to a compatible stylus pen in sync with music playback, including vibration-event playback control and per-instrument adjustment.

• Baseball Streaming Tool for Streamers

  Client

  Contract-developed a desktop application (Electron / React) for a VTuber's baseball streams, with an operator window and a display window composited into the broadcast.

• Virtual Rowing Exhibit Haptic Content

  Client

  Produced haptic content for the Virtual Rowing exhibit at TOKYO eSports Festa, expressing the feel of a rowing machine through vibration.
