Dive into SoftMRF®

What is inside?
SoftMRF®, a special fluid that can change its hardness freely, creates a new sensation of the presence of an object in the hand, which is unlike the sensation from the existing vibratory tactile sensation. Nowadays since it became more difficult to meet people face to face, technology for the sense of sight and hearing is becoming more sophisticated, and expectations are also rising for the other three senses. The creation for such a “remote”society as a new normal is about to begin.

SoftMRF® is the state-of-the-art technology we are proud of.
Nowadays, presenting a tactile sensation is being focused.
We would like to introduce our SoftMRF® as the technology that helps customers for those who have difficulties reproducing the sense of touch by applying vibrations, which is conventional technology,
or customers who want to express various tactile sensations.
