Skinetic, the Haptic Vest

In deep tech, breakthrough innovations are not always visible from the outside. Animation can reveal how a small engineering choice can transform the way a product works and feels.

Actronika develops haptic technologies that bring tactile sensations into virtual reality. Their Skinetic vest allows users to feel interactions that match what they see in immersive environments.

For their fundraising communication, we created a series of animated sequences explaining the principle behind their technology: replacing traditional Eccentric Rotating Mass (ERM) motors with Voice Coil Motors (VCM).

Because the innovation relies on a fundamental difference in movement, animation became the most effective medium to communicate it. Short looping sequences isolate each mechanical principle, allowing viewers to observe the difference between rotational vibration and linear motion and understand why this design choice enables a more precise haptic experience.

By transforming an invisible engineering advantage into a clear visual narrative, the animations help communicate the value of Actronika’s technology beyond technical audiences.
