HapWare is developing AlEye, a wearable communication system that uses computer vision, artificial intelligence and haptic feedback to convey facial expressions, gestures and body language as vibration patterns. The product is intended to help users perceive nonverbal social cues in real time across settings such as classrooms and workplaces. The company was founded in 2025 and is engaging early users through beta programs and product waitlists as it refines usability ahead of market launch. Financially, HapWare has completed a pre-seed round backed by Kickstart and secured $250,000 in state economic-development grant funding plus a small competitive award. The funds are being used to accelerate product development, expand beta testing activities and support commercialization preparation. HapWare has participated in disability-tech challenges and is positioning itself to seek additional investment and strategic partnerships as it moves toward launch.
