Feeling a Smile: Exploring ALEYE with HapWare's Jack Walters

What if you could feel someone smile, wave, or reach out for a handshake? Jeff Thompson welcomes HapWare cofounder Jack Walters to explore ALEYE, a wearable wristband designed to translate facial expressions, gestures, and other nonverbal cues into distinct vibration patterns. Working with a smartphone camera or Meta glasses, ALEYE offers blind and low vision users another way to access the silent side of conversation. How do you learn those patterns? Can you choose which cues you receive? And what's coming next? Discover how touch could open new possibilities for connection, from classrooms and job interviews to everyday social moments.
