Turning passive seats into adaptive wellbeing systems. 

A closed-loop haptic seating platform: sensing, vibrotactile feedback and safety-bounded control that support comfort, wellbeing and accessibility across seated environments.

THE PROBLEM

Why seating needs to become responsive

Prolonged sitting creates discomfort and fatigue

Visual and audio channels are increasingly overloaded

The seat is an underused interface in constant contact with the body

THE SOLUTION

A closed-loop platform for seat-based wellbeing

01

Sensing

02

Interpretation

03

Adaptive Control

04

Haptic response

05

Human outcome

06

Validation

  • Long-haul comfort

  • Arrival condition

  • Sleep support

  • Non-audio and non-visual communication

  • Premium cabin differentiation

  • Retrofit-ready innovation

USE CASE

Aviation passenger wellbeing

Aviation is our lead focus: long-haul passengers don’t buy haptics they buy better arrival condition, comfort, and calmer journeys.

One platform, multiple seated environments

CONSORTIUM

Built by a multidisciplinary consortium

HAPSEAT brings together expertise in haptic systems, thin-film sensing, seat integration, content design, software tooling, human-factors validation, and commercialisation.
