Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the development kit?

Brilliant Sole Dev Kit ($599): left and right sensor & haptics insoles (8× FSR pressure sensors, 9-axis IMU, and 2 haptic motors per pair), in-shoe wireless chargers, and full SDK + firmware access delivered digitally with your order. Brilliant Sense Dev Kit ($199): the modular sensor + haptics module (IMU, programmable haptic, ESP32 BLE/WiFi) with mounting attachments; the 16× FSR foot sensor is a $99 add-on. Both stream at 200Hz.

Do I need prior experience to use the Brilliant Wear platform?

If you can write JavaScript, you can build with our kits — the JS SDK runs in the browser with no install, and we ship working examples. Swift, Unity, and Unreal Engine SDKs are there when you want them, and Brilliant Sense also speaks Arduino. No firmware or embedded experience required.

Are the hardware components consumer-ready?

These are production-grade development kits built for developers, researchers, and labs — daily-wearable, rechargeable, and shipped as finished hardware (the insole design is patented). A consumer line in full whole-size runs is on the roadmap, and dev-kit buyers get first access.

Which programming languages and SDKs are supported?

JavaScript, Swift, Unity (C#), and Unreal Engine (C++), with Arduino firmware support on Brilliant Sense. Integrations include Edge Impulse (on-device ML), SlimeVR, MaxMSP, and more via open protocols.

Can I integrate the platform with my existing applications?

Yes — devices stream over BLE and the SDK relays via WebSocket, UDP, and OSC, so anything that speaks those protocols (game engines, research tooling, DAWs, custom apps) can consume live sensor data and trigger haptics.

When will my order ship?

Brilliant Sense: in-stock units ship within about 2 weeks; once the current batch is claimed, subsequent orders ship in about 60 days. Brilliant Insoles: XL and L from the current build ship in 4–6 weeks; S and M, and orders placed after the batch is claimed, ship in 90–120 days. You're charged at order, you can cancel any time before shipment for a full refund, and we email tracking the moment your kit ships.

What is your return policy?

30-day returns on unused kits, and free cancellation any time before your order ships.
