About
Alexis Urquhart is a rising innovator in the field of haptic technology, with a focused research agenda centered on accessible, high-resolution tactile feedback systems. Her major contribution lies in the development of the "Soft Haptic Display Toolkit," a low-cost, open-source platform designed to democratize high-spatial-resolution wearable tactile arrays. This work directly addresses a critical bottleneck in the field: the prohibitive cost and complexity that have historically limited investigations into human tactile perception. By providing an affordable, replicable toolkit, Urquhart empowers other researchers to explore detailed tactile sensations, opening new avenues for studies in sensory substitution, virtual reality, and assistive technologies. Her approach bridges the gap between advanced engineering and practical, reproducible science. Though early in her career, her 2025 paper has already garnered attention for its potential to standardize and accelerate haptic research. Urquhart’s work is notable for its commitment to open-source principles, ensuring that high-resolution tactile feedback is no longer a luxury of well-funded labs but a tool available to the broader scientific community.
