Haptic Exploration

Some aspects of science remain invisible to the naked eye. To better understand scale, structure, or dimension, haptic exploration can provide a powerful complement to visual information. At cabu:ff at CeOS, we design, 3D-print, and distribute custom scientific models derived directly from research data. From bathymetric maps to miniaturized classroom replicas of scientific equipment—from a compact seafloor lander to a full research vessel—we bring complex knowledge into tangible form. Curious about how haptic models can make knowledge transfer more inclusive and accessible? We’d be happy to hear from you!
