Imagine an evening filled with innovative tech demos, free-flowing beer, and the crisp taste of locally sourced Quebec apple cider. This was the scene at our first Haply Creators Club event, a casual post-work happy hour designed to bring together our vibrant community and showcase our groundbreaking technology.
Held on July 18th, 2024, from 5 PM to 8:30 PM, at our offices in the buzzing Plateau area of Montreal, the event aimed to provide insight into our upcoming 3D touch mouse launch, gather valuable feedback, and foster connections among our community members and team.
Event Highlights
As we showcased the context and vision behind our Touch 3D Mouse, the enthusiasm from our community was palpable. With over 80 attendees, including Creators Club members and members of the local tech and startup ecosystem, the event exceeded our expectations. Alongside good music and great company, the evening featured captivating tech demonstrations and a presentation by our team on the plans and work behind our upcoming haptic computer mouse.
The presentation highlighted the potential of a touch-enabled spatial computer mouse to augment the workflows of artists, developers, and engineers who work with 3D applications. It emphasized making intuitive three-dimensional navigation with touch feedback accessible and affordable at the consumer level, and underscored the importance of community involvement and feedback in shaping its development.
Plans in Motion
Colin, Haply's president, discussed the company's vision for this product, including our goal to launch a consumer-friendly 3D computer mouse at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). This new product aims to merge the needs of 3D designers, makers, gamers, and high-performance users, bringing advanced haptic technology to a broader audience. Colin also touched on the importance of workflow compatibility, ensuring the 3D mouse integrates seamlessly with existing tools and software.
