Tapster

Future Scenario

Tapster is a simple analog interface (membrane) that makes sure you don't forget what's important to you. Notifications have long been a nuisance to meetings and personal interactions by distracting vibrating or noisy sounds. Tapster allows you to quickly define important milestones during your day and gives you a subtle feedback that the milestone has arrived. Define Tapster’s notifications quickly on your calendar or email program.

Our visual and auditive senses are strained daily through using laptops and smartphones. Our touch sense isn’t used as a medium for feedback by most technological devices. Tapster gives haptic impulses as a gentle reminder.
