Sensel Haptic Touchpad Adds a Higher Degree of Touch
A new touchpad combining haptics, force field technology + a high-resolution touch grid promising greater control for laptop users.
Many laptop users find their built-in touchpads a necessary compromise for the sake of portability at the cost of ergonomic and functional control. Touch technology specialists Sensel is aiming to improve the situation by adding a nuanced level of control and manipulation to the humble laptop touchpad with the announcement of a new modular touch and haptic feedback solution.
“Until now, touch and haptic technologies have been designed separately, resulting in challenging integrations for manufacturers and inconsistent performance for end-customers,? says Sensel CEO and Co-founder Ilya Rosenberg. Sensel’s approach to the touchpad integrates these two existing tactile technologies with a high resolution capacitive touch grid pad merged with a “Force Field Technology” engineered to register the amount of force applied per finger and converts it into both force and shape data. A direct drive haptics system is the third and final element, providing a degree of force feedback, opening the possibility of simulating shape, texture, or response via the touchpad.
The svelte three-millimeters thick Sensel Haptic Touchpad will also support gesture controls, including two-finger scroll, two-finger pinch, and other multi-finger gestures that any mobile/tablet device user has become accustomed to using. The technology allows...
