What Is This?
The Sensory Fidget Simulator is an interactive, browser-based sensory regulation tool that lets you customise visual complexity, haptic feedback intensity, audio amplitude, and texture frequency in real time — providing on-demand sensory input to support focus and reduce overwhelm.
Why It Exists
Fidgeting is not a bad habit — it's a neurological self-regulation mechanism. Many neurodivergent people need a specific type of sensory input to sustain focus, but accessing that input in professional settings is often stigmatised. This tool provides discreet, configurable sensory input through a screen that looks like work.
Who It's For
- ▸Neurodivergent individuals who need sensory stimulation to maintain focus
- ▸People who use physical fidget tools but want a screen-based alternative for professional settings
- ▸Anyone experiencing restlessness, anxiety, or sensory under-stimulation that blocks cognitive performance
How It Works
You configure texture frequency, vibration intensity, visual complexity, sound amplitude, shape choice, and haptic feedback. The simulator runs in your browser and adapts in real time. You can rate your focus, anxiety, and sensory overload before and after to track what works for you.
You get:
- ▸A fully configurable real-time sensory simulation
- ▸Haptic feedback support on compatible devices
- ▸Subjective state tracking (focus, anxiety, sensory overload scores)
- ▸Unlimited saved profiles for different contexts and needs
What Makes It Different
This is a precision tool, not a toy. Every parameter is adjustable, and the self-rating system builds a personal data set of which inputs actually improve your regulatory state.
