INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
A company building a very high-tech glove has just gotten its hands on some new money.HaptX is building a sensor-packed glove for VR and
robotics applications that simulates haptic and resistance feedback for enterprise users.The Seattle startup has raised $12 million in new
funding from Mason Avenue Investments, Taylor Frigon Capital Partners, Upheaval Investments, Votiv Capital, Keiretsu Forum, Keiretsu
Capital, NetEase and Amit Kapur of Dawn Patrol Ventures
HaptX seems to have zeroed in on the same enterprise customer base as other VR startups, with a lot of its customers using the gloves in
design and visualization processes
HaptX has moved away from marketing itself as a VR-only company and has expanded into robotics, reshaping its offering into a solution
framed by real-world input and real-world output.Alongside the funding announcement, HaptX is sharing that it has partnered with Advanced
earlier this year at a conference.
