Imagine if your VR glove could let you feel heat—or cold? That’s exactly what Nokia and Italian haptics startup WEART unveiled at the recent IEEE World Haptics Conference: a glove that delivers real-time thermal sensations in virtual environments.
It’s a powerful step forward in immersive tech.
But beyond that, it's also a smart move in strategic collaboration and deployment of IP. Rather than going it alone, both companies are leveraging their strengths—Nokia’s scale and infrastructure, WEART’s specialized know-how—to bring something novel to market.
It’s exactly the kind of partnership Meridian Cay Advisors helps clients pursue: unlocking value from their IP through licensing, collaboration, and brand-aligned deals.
If you’re wondering how your own technology could be positioned for strategic growth, we should talk.
