What Is the Hyve Haptic Matrix?

The Hyve Haptic Matrix is a conformable, ultra-thin surface sensing array that integrates directly onto aerodynamic and structural surfaces to provide dense, real-time measurement of pressure, temperature, and strain.

It enables non-invasive deployment without drilling, structural modification, or embedded wiring — delivering full-surface insight in testing and operational environments.

Inspired by biological sensing, the architecture prioritises distributed measurement density to capture surface behaviour rather than isolated points.

Core Innovation

Traditional surface instrumentation often requires structural penetration, embedded wiring, or complex optical systems. Hyve replaces this with a conformable, non-invasive MEMS-based sensing architecture, enabling:

Bidirectional pressure sensing (±10kPa standard range)Captures both positive pressure and suction to resolve true surface loading behaviour.

Multi-parameter measurementSimultaneous pressure, temperature, and strain acquisition from a single deployed surface array.

Non-invasive integrationAdhesive surface bonding with no drilling, structural penetration, or composite modification.

Rapid repositionable deploymentDeploy, test, remove, and redeploy within minutes in controlled testing environments.

Real-time synchronized streamingkHz-level sampling with low-latency output for live aerodynamic and structural analysis.
