Microtube

Innovation in our DNA
Our story

Pioneering wearables & haptics.

At Microtube Technologies, innovation is in our DNA. In 2018 we spun our microfluidic sensors out of the National University of Singapore, and in 2024 we spun out haptic feedback — dedicated to pioneering cutting-edge technologies in wearables and haptics for seamless interactions between the virtual and physical worlds.

Our vision

A world where interactions between the virtual and physical are seamless — where digital experiences can be touched, felt and measured.

Our mission

Deliver breakthrough solutions that redefine extended-reality user experiences and enhance human–machine interaction.
