Participating Organizations
Adansons Inc.
Our cutting-edge technology enables you to generate haptic feedback tailored to the movements and context of your video content, streaming videos, or 3D assets. By leveraging video analysis AI, LLMs, and our proprietary Reference AI, we can create dynamic haptic experiences that bring your content to life.
Our system allows you to play the most suitable haptic effects from preset options or isolate specific audio components to convert them into haptic signals. This advanced functionality makes it possible to enhance the immersiveness of your content or deliver real-time effects that adapt to unexpected user actions.
With our solution, you can create more engaging and interactive experiences, setting your content apart with unparalleled realism and responsiveness.

Tohoku University（TouchStar）
TouchStar is an emerging venture in haptic technology, soon to be launched. Our core technology is built upon years of haptic research developed at the Konyo Laboratory, Graduate School of Information Sciences, Tohoku University.
Our mission is to create a world where people can archive and share haptic experiences, offering not only tactile sensations but a fully immersive, embodied experience that conveys a sense of presence, skillful movement, and more.
We have developed an innovative haptic signal conversion technology that transforms audio and tactile vibrations into signals that can be reproduced by standard vibration motors found in everyday devices like smartphones. This breakthrough eliminates the need for expensive specialized hardware while delivering rich tactile experiences.
Demonstrations at CES 2025
- Smartphone Demo: Experience our versatile haptic feedback technology directly on everyday smartphones, showcasing the power of accessible tactile innovations.
- Digital Shrine Bell: Discover our precision vibration reproduction technology through an interactive installation inspired by traditional Japanese shrine bells (suzu), bridging cultural heritage with cutting-edge haptics.
