Our Mission

Built for the Bold Few.

Human Adjacent is a human-centric AI consultancy built to unlock value in ambitious small and mid-sized B2B enterprises. We were founded to serve the overlooked: resilient companies in stagnant sectors often left behind by innovation. We’re not here for the hype we’re here for the few visionaries who see opportunity buried in legacy systems and are bold enough to act. Our team is made up of elite operators in AI, data, and business strategy, each with a track record of real-world results.

What you integrate today defines what you dominate tomorrow.
Shaped only by purpose.

Emergence Imminent

In This New Terrain, Who Will Be Your Guide?

AI is everywhere but real corporate success stories remain rare. Thats because being great at AI isnt enough. You also need business acumen. At Human Adjacent, we bring both technical mastery and strategic thinking and weve stayed small and independent to focus on long-term alignment with the right partners. Talking about AI is easy. Building with it is hard. The road ahead demands more than ambition it takes grit, the tenacity to push into the unknown and still lead others through it. We often walk into the fire but we come back with the map.
What are the initial services?

We’re not here to inspire imitation or join the conversation. We’re built to take over. Defining a new category means staying quiet while we rewrite the rules.

What clients are we accepting?

We’re not. We’ve carefully selected a small, aligned group and closed the door — for now. Our proof-of-concepts are underway, and we’re focused on building, not broadcasting. Join our waitlist and we will get back to you soon.

When will we launch a blog?

This group is done being content creators. Whether it is on social media or blogs.

Why we have a waitlist?

Because we’re not for everyone. We’re building with a select few who match our pace, trust our process, and operate without friction. In a world changing this fast, alignment isn’t a luxury — it’s the only way anything gets done right.

Overview

Our approach focused on merging Scandinavian design principles with cutting-edge technology. The result is Boreal – a VR headset that doesn't just improve upon existing designs but rethinks how users should interact with virtual environments.
In a market dominated by bulky, uncomfortable VR headsets, Nordvision envisioned a device that would prioritize human factors alongside technical excellence. The challenge was to create a premium VR experience that users could enjoy for extended periods without the typical physical constraints of existing solutions.
Boreal VR Headset

The Challenge

Traditional VR headsets presented significant barriers to extended use, with most users experiencing fatigue after just 30 minutes. Heat management issues not only caused discomfort but also affected device performance. The complex setup procedures and adjustments required technical knowledge that alienated casual users.

The market needed a solution that could deliver premium visual experiences while maintaining comfort and intuitive usability. Existing products forced users to choose between performance and comfort, while setup complexity remained a significant barrier to adoption.
Boreal VR Headset

The Solution

We developed a revolutionary weight distribution system that reduces pressure points and fatigue. The passive cooling architecture maintains optimal operating temperature without adding bulk, while our quick-release mechanisms allow for easy adjustments and maintenance.

The user interface was simplified to essential interactions, with automatic IPD calibration and single-hand controls. We integrated premium materials with advanced ergonomics, creating a device that adapts to the user rather than requiring the user to adapt to it.
