🧠 Smarter, Sleeker, Sharper: AlEye 2.0 Is Almost Here Post

We’re building the ultimate tool for communication. AlEye is the first wearable device of its kind to communicate nonverbal and social cues for a wide range of environments.

🤖 What’s Next? Explainable AI & 27+ Cues

People keep asking, “What’s next?” And it starts with our explainable AI (xAI) algorithms.

We are currently working on expanding recognition abilities to 27 nonverbal cues, nearly tripling the amount from our early beta units just two months ago.

Previously, our Founding AlEyes had access to 12 foundational cues like happiness, waves, and thumbs up. Now, we’re going beyond basic emotions and gestures. Our updated algorithms can read micro facial expressions like eyebrow movement, eye gaze, lip tension, and advanced body language, so it's not just knowing if someone is “happy,” but sharing what they are showing based on nuanced facial details like pursed lips or raised brows. 

You asked! We listened! We've added 15 more nonverbal cues!

Every new cue directly reflects community feedback. We’re continually improving AlEye’s capabilities. If there’s a recognition feature you’d like to see added, please share it with us.

Fill out the form below and help shape the future of inclusive communication—your voice matters.

🖐️ Smaller, Stronger, Smarter: The New Wristband

The updated wristband is 64% smaller and just 6.4 ounces, built with a new light-weight, flexible plastic and an adjustable strap that feels more like a smartwatch than a prototype. Making AlEye smaller has dramatically improved user comfort and portability,

We’ve also added more haptic motors for increased precision and made the feedback patterns more intuitive, so different cues feel unmistakably distinct, even in fast-paced conversations. This isn’t just smarter haptics, it’s wearable tech that looks and feels good too.

🕶️ Smarter Glasses. Sleeker Design.

The glasses have undergone a major transformation. We’ve reduced the weight by over 25%, bringing the total to just 3 ounces. Previously, the camera, battery, and electronics were housed in a bulky side attachment. Now, the camera, internal circuitry, battery, and charging port are seamlessly embedded in the frame, making the glasses discreet, stylish, and truly wearable for everyday use. As one user put it, “The hardware is light, portable, and easy to use.”

🚀 Next Pilot Cohort: July Launch

We’re gearing up to launch our next wave of pilot programs this July and we’re looking for:

• Government agencies

• Nonprofit organizations

• Schools and universities

• Individuals who want to shape the future of inclusive tech

If that sounds like you, now is your chance to join the movement and apply to be a Founding AlEye.

💬 Nothing About Us Without Us

We follow the principle that real innovation in accessibility must be built with the community, not for it.

That’s why every new feature, like our upcoming mobile app, is shaped by direct user feedback. The app will allow you to: 

• Customize which cues you receive

• Train yourself through guided sessions

• Create presets for different environments

• Submit real-time feedback that shapes monthly updates. 

This is what you should expect from HapWare’s wearable devices: The ability to add features, provide feedback that triples the access to nonverbal cues, and have complete control over your social experiences. We believe the best wearable technology is built with the people who use it, so we’re inviting you to help shape its future.

🧠 Coming Soon

We’re working on a fusion of xAI + psychology that brings compound emotion detection to life. Our goal is to communicate the microexpressions and cues that occur faster than a blink of an eye: Deceit, Confusion, Engagement level, Gratitude, Boredom, and many more complex emotions.

AlEye is the first-ever real-time, wearable system capable of interpreting complex human behavior passively, unobtrusively, and at the moment it matters.

And Founding AlEyes will be the first in the world to access it.
