The Story of HapWare

HapWare was founded with a deep commitment to creating life-changing assistive technologies that empower individuals who are blind, low-vision, or autistic. Our journey is guided by firsthand experience: our co-founder and CTO, Dr. Bryan Duarte, who is blind, shapes our mission with unique insights.

We design by the principle "Nothing about us without us," ensuring collaboration with the very communities we aim to serve. Their input is integral at every stage of our design and development process.

At HapWare, we believe access to nonverbal communication is a fundamental right, not a luxury. With our flagship product, ALeye, we are creating a future where social interactions are both accessible and equitable.

Our mission is to enhance lives through innovative solutions, providing individuals with the tools to engage confidently in personal, social, and professional settings. HapWare is not just about technology—it’s about making an impact.
