Making digital
come alive

We merge the human body with the digital world to create new experiences. And emotions.Swipe for more

Experiences are sensory

Human experiences are rooted in the physical.
Neuroscience shows our brain integrates touch with our other senses to create a sense of self by owning our body.

An unreal digital reality

Virtual and augmented reality experiences are currently disconnected from the body – and almost all senses.

Groundbreaking immersive technology

We take immersion to innovative heights.
Our technology creates a sensory experience with lived emotions, truly connecting the body with the digital world. Its uses in our daily lives are limitless.

MetaTouch

Our pioneering neuro-haptic skin generates targeted sensations, feelings, and emotions in the brain through stimulation of the body, transforming the way we perceive the digital world.

Flexible and Scalable

MetaTouch is made of a soft, biocompatible, silicone layer that can take any shape, size, and even be 3D printed. MetaTouch can be used on the entire body, from the feet to the neck, and even inside the ear!

Life-like bodily stimulation

MetaTouch stimulates the two most intimate senses, touch and temperature, and can be integrated with other immersive technologies and physiological sensing.

From the body to the brain

MetaTouch effectively “hacks” the nervous system via the surface of the skin. This is only possible by combining the richest haptic feedback with advanced mapping of how haptic stimulation affects mental states.

Impact

Metaphysiks will contribute to humanizing the Metaverse, bringing physical and emotional engagement to the digital world.

Well-being

MetaTouch creates a digital world where it is possible to increase focus during meditation or have a more efficient power nap while feeling the waves of your favorite ocean.

Gaming

Be IN the game, both physically and emotionally. MetaTouch extends what your senses can feel, perceiving your environment as well as sharing your intentions and emotions through unique thermal and touch feedback.

Healthcare

MetaTouch creates a digital world where it is possible to remotely experience the human connection and healing interaction with a therapist.

Our vision

Positively transform lives by merging the best of both the physical and digital worlds.

Our Publications & Spotlights

Multisensory brain mechanisms of bodily self-consciousness

MetaBody technology is powered by neuroscience algorithms based on Prof. Blanke’s (co-founder and chairman of Metaphysiks) neurobiological model of subjectivity and self-consciousness. In this article published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, Prof. Blanke discusses the brain mechanisms involved in multisensory own body perception and argues why these bodily signals are essential for self-consciousness. (Science – Part I).

A flexible multimodal tactile display for delivering shape and material information

In this article published within a collaboration between Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and the Swiss Federal institute of Technology (EPFL), Dr. Gallo, co-founder and Head of Technology of Metaphysiks, lays the foundation for MetaBody unique tactile interfaces. This is the first successful development of a multimodal tactile technology providing pressure and temperature on a flexible substrate. (Technology – Part I).

Assimilation of virtual legs and perception of floor texture by complete paraplegic patients receiving artificial tactile feedback

In this pioneering work published in Nature Scientific Reports, missing haptic sensations from the lower body of spinal cord injury (SCI) patients were remapped on their upper limbs using a wearable haptic interface. Dr. Gallo, Metaphysiks’s co-founder, developed the haptic interface and greatly contributed to the experiential paradigm that induced in patients the unique sensation of walking on different ground types, from sand to concrete. This research was part of the Walk Again Project and was show-cased in the open ceremony of the FIFA World Cup 2014 where one of the patients, Juliano Pinto, clad in an exoskeleton gave the ceremonial kick-off of the World Cup (Experience Engineering – Part I).
