The Trutru Haptic - created by JUE Design and Research Studio (JUE) in collaboration with Hong Kong Polytechnic University's Intelligent Human Machine Mechanical Interface Lab (IHMMI Lab) - is one such device leaning into the playfulness. With programmable "personalities," interchangeable arms, and custom temperature settings, this delightful device serves as a technological companion communicating through satisfying tactile and textural feedback. An amorphous, jelly-like creature with a diffused glow, TruTru is designed to be held close, clipped on, and kept nearby.
