Gen 11 Dev Kit · Coming This Fall

From idea to working haptic prototype.

The Gen 11 Dev Kit is built for builders — companies, students, and tinkerers who need to test a multi-sensory idea fast. Two DataFeel Dots, each outputting vibration, heat, cold, and light at once, with a full API to build your own application — or Composer software if you'd rather create content than code.

Hardware

Everything you need to start prototyping.

Every DataFeel Dot has always output vibration, heat, cold, and light together, synchronized through one actuator — that's true on Gen 11 the same as it's always been. What's new is the count: Gen 11 ships with two Dots instead of Gen 10's four, simply to bring the cost down. Capability per Dot hasn't changed.

The El Jefe controller is the connective core: power, data, and timing for both Dots, positioned wherever your prototype calls for it — one on each wrist, both on the same limb for a stronger layered signal, or handed to two different collaborators to test at once. Pair it with Composer and you can go from a concept to something you can actually feel the same day.

2 DataFeel Dots

Each one outputs vibration, heat, cold, and light together.

Hardware

El Jefe Controller

Wearable controller with onboard power and data connections.

Software

Full API Access

Build your own application. Composer is also included for no-code content creation.

Support

Documentation

Setup guides and API docs to get building on day one.

Software

Two ways to build.

Every Dev Kit ships with both. Use the API if you're building your own application. Use Composer if you'd rather create content than write code. Plenty of people use both.

A
Track 1 · Premiere Offering

The API

Direct, programmatic control over the hardware. Build exactly what's in your head, in your own code.

01

Full programmatic control

Control vibration, heat, cold, and light independently, in real time, from your own code.

02

Any data source, any use case

Built around Python. React to a sensor, a website, a live feed, or your own application's logic — whatever you're building toward.

03

Yours to build on

Full documentation ships with every kit, so you can start building immediately.

Track 2 · No Code Required

Composer

Composer is the software layer that turns audio and video into something you feel — no coding involved. It ships free with every Dev Kit, Gen 10 or Gen 11.

01

Add haptic layers to audio or video

Bring in any audio or video file and Composer generates synchronized vibration, heat, cold, and light to match it.

02

Pull videos in directly from YouTube

Drop in a link — no downloads or file prep. Composer reads the video and starts generating haptics from it directly.

03

Generate audio and video with built-in haptics

Describe what you want in plain language and Composer's gen-AI engine creates original audio or video with haptic layers already built in.

How It Works

Composer watches for movement — either in the overall frame or by tracking a person's hands, hips, and feet — and converts what it sees into vibration on the Dots in real time. Music and video are analyzed for rhythm, structure, and beat, so haptics land in sync automatically instead of requiring manual timing.

Presets give you a tuned starting point, and every parameter — intensity, timing, which energy leads, how they blend — stays adjustable from there.
