Levitate

Revolutionising human-machine interaction using levitating objects that are suspended thanks to acoustic waves

The Levitate projects targets the development of a new technology to let objects levitate. This is achieved by keeping them suspended via acoustic waves. The technology developed by Levitate may pave the way to a completely new interaction between humans and machines.

Culture & Society

"Not all SMEs and start-ups can disrupt the market fast enough"

Levitation becomes a reality

Culture & Society

One day we may not only see, hear and touch devices, but also feel the objects shown on them at the tip of our fingers. Thanks to levitation, 3D items will be created using floating pixels
