The Novint Falcon

Consumer Hardware
The Novint Falcon is the first 3D touch interface device designed for the
consumer market. The Falcon, which is designed to retail for under $100 in
mass market volumes, performs comparably to commercial devices that cost
thousands of dollars, letting users accurately and realistically feel shape,
texture, weight, dynamics, 3D motion and force effects when playing
touch-enabled games. For more information please see our product overview. 

Consumer Software
Novint is developing an original touch-enabled game that will be bundled with
the Falcon. This collection of fun and addictive games includes a variety of
genres and demonstrates the power and potential of 3D touch. Novint is also
licensing our technology to game developers and publishers, enabling them to
easily and cost-effectively add 3D touch to products. For information on
licensing, or on our third-party developer program, please contact
games@novint.com.
