At Tanvas, our mission is to make your interactions with touchscreens more interesting, more natural, and more engaging. We have developed a novel “haptic” touchscreen technology that not only tracks the fingertips, but controls what they feel: textures, edges, collisions, and even the illusion of shape on a featureless glass panel.  Tanvas is based in downtown Chicago's easy-access west loop neighborhood.
