TactileHub launches tactile prototyping SaaS for product designers

Design · 4 min read

TactileHub released a web-based platform that helps designers prototype tactile interactions and map them to digital states. The startup argues that many product teams neglect tactile affordances early enough, resulting in late-stage redesigns and manufacturing friction.

The product allows teams to upload material scans, define haptic profiles, and generate testable sequences that simulate touch feedback for mobile and wearable devices. Collaborators can leave annotated feedback and link tactile specs to components in design-system repos.

TactileHub targets physical-product teams and AR/VR designers, with pricing tiers for startups and enterprise licenses for hardware partners. The company plans to add a marketplace for tested haptic patterns and supplier integrations.
