Mission awareness. Feel what matters.
A haptic awareness layer for high-load drone and mission operations.
02 The challenge
Visual overload is a mission risk.
Drone operators must process multiple streams of information at once — video feeds, telemetry, maps, alerts, communications and system states. As visual load increases, attention becomes fragmented and critical information can be missed.
03 The solution
What if critical information could be felt?
deep.hap introduces an additional sensory channel, translating critical information into intuitive haptic signals — without demanding additional visual attention.
Approaching a defined altitude ceiling.
A potential risk to the operator’s own drone.

04 Human factors
Designed for situational awareness.
Human attention is limited. deep.hap explores how prioritized information can be communicated through an additional haptic channel, reducing dependence on visual and auditory alerts.
Situational Awareness
Making critical events intuitively perceptible.
Reduced Visual Workload
Shifting selected information away from overloaded screens.
Response Performance
Supporting timely recognition of critical situations.
05 Product & technology
Built on wearable haptics expertise.
Building on the wearable haptics expertise of deep electronics, deep.hap combines a flexible textile collar with four independently controlled haptic contact points.
Designed as a dedicated sensory interface, it translates mission-relevant information into intuitive tactile signals.
The software concept
From data to awareness.
deep.hap is conceived as a manufacturer-independent software layer that connects drone telemetry and mission systems with an intuitive haptic interface.
Data & Events
Receive signals from connected systems and telemetry sources.
Risk Assessment
Evaluate and prioritize mission-relevant events in context.
Haptic Cues
Translate selected warnings into distinct tactile patterns.
Development starts with a simple event (a “ping”) from an external system translated into a haptic signal. Multi-source integration and contextual risk assessment are planned next steps.
