The science and technology behind MetaTouch
Developed over years by our in-house scientists, take a look at the MetaTouch technology on which Metaphysiks is built.
Metaphysiks' core technology MetaTouch
Our 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.
Our technology MetaTouch in action
The MetaTouch CORE control unit controls a multitude of flexible and customizable interfaces in contact with the user. Each interface comprises multiple stimulation points, and each stimulation point delivers precisely controlled and ultra-fast temperature stimulation, soothing vibrations, and variable pressures.
Array of multimodal stimulation points
Ultra-fast thermal gradients
The science behind MetaTouch
MetaTouch is based on a decade of groundbreaking research at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) by Professor Blanke, Dr. Gallo and Dr. Rognini.
The academic collaboration combined neuroscience with engineering on haptics, soft robotics, and human augmentation to create conscious experiences and perceptions in the human mind, even if those experiences were not physically real.
The combined research efforts resulted in several patents which are exclusively licensed to Metaphysiks.
The founding team's research has also been published in several leading science journals, including "Nature" and "Science".
Amputees feel warmth in their missing hand
In a work in collaboration with EPFL and published in the prestigious journal "Science", MetaTouch was used to restore thermal sensations and material perception in amputees.
Backed by leading research
Metaphysiks was founded by passionate industry experts and neuroscientists.
