Help Us Decide Where ALEYE Should Demo Next
This is your chance to try out ALEYE!

Hello friends and supporters,
We have an exciting update and we would love your help shaping what comes next.
The HapWare team is hitting the road in 2026 to demo ALEYE in person and connect directly with the community. Our goal is to visit organizations where people can experience ALEYE hands on, ask questions, and help guide the future of the technology through real feedback.
Where we need your help
We are actively looking for recommendations on where we should visit next. This could include
Nonprofits and advocacy organizations
Government agencies
Vocational rehabilitation programs
Skills and workforce training programs
Educational institutions
Community groups or local chapters
If you are part of or connected to an organization that would benefit from an in person ALEYE demo, we want to hear from you.
To make travel and logistics feasible, we aim to schedule demos where we can gather at least 30 people at a single location. Respond to this email with recommendations, if you would like to experience a demo, or fill out the survey here and we will be in contact with you.
