ASHIRASE Haptic Navigation System

Ashirase, Inc.

Tokyo, Japan

Ashirase Inc. is a Japanese mobility technology company spun out from Honda, committed to creating a world where everyone can move safely and independently. Our flagship product, ASHIRASE , is a shoe-mounted navigation system designed for people with visual impairments. Instead of relying on audio instructions, ASHIRASE provides intuitive directional guidance through gentle vibrations on the feet, enabling hands-free, ears-open navigation while allowing users to remain aware of their surroundings. We are also developing IndoorFlow , an infrastructure-free indoor navigation platform that uses smartphones to provide accessible wayfinding. Designed with universal design principles, IndoorFlow supports not only people with visual impairments but also a wide range of facility users. Following our launch in Australia, we are expanding into the European market. At REHACARE, we look forward to connecting with distributors, rehabilitation professionals, accessibility organizations, public sector organizations, and potential partners to make independent mobility more accessible for everyone.
