Our vision is to enhance human body functions to perceive the environment in new ways and improving human capabilities beyond imagination.

Sensovo

Sensovo is an award winning supplier and service provider of wearable technologies. We have expertise in the development of devices using tactile and haptic feedback. The company mainly focuses on the engineering of wearables with integrated tactile actuators and associated mobile phone applications. Currently we are in the beta test phase of a tactile navigation system which will soon be on sale through our webshop. In addition to device development we provide consultancy to companies that would like to integrate haptics into their solutions.

Sensovo’s name combines the english word “sense” and the Latin word “novo” (new) and origins from the idea of creating a new sense with haptic technologies so information can be transmitted via tactile actuators. As the brain is capable of learning quickly to use new sorts of inputs enabling us to become humans with additional senses. Our vision is to enhance the body functions of the users of our solutions to perceive their environment in new ways and improving their capabilities beyond imagination.
