Case Study: Not Impossible Labs launches an immersive haptic wearable with Delve

Not Impossible Labs launches a 220-unit wearable in 5 months with Delve

Not Impossible Labs, a technology incubator, had a five-year-old proof-of-concept for a wearable haptic system to translate music into vibrations for an inclusive concert experience. Their challenge was to scale this "Music: Not Impossible" product into a manufacturable IoT device in just five months to debut it at a major music festival. They engaged Delve for product development services to overcome this tight timeline and complex engineering hurdles.

Delve's solution involved upgrading the haptic technology with more precise actuators and implementing a custom LoRa wireless communication platform to eliminate lag and preserve battery life. The vendor managed an accelerated design and manufacturing process, delivering 220 complete systems for the successful festival debut. The product received critical acclaim, won a prestigious design award, and provided an immersive experience that allowed deaf and hearing concertgoers to feel music simultaneously through precise vibrations across the body.
