Inspiring Innovation
Unlike the competition, we provide more than just a touch sensor or haptics actuator.
Our cutting-edge architecture allows us to integrate high-precision touch sensing, multi-finger force sensing, and best-in-class haptics all in a single, ultra-thin solution, that’s modular and tuned specifically for each application. This enables our customers to create thinner form factors, advanced industrial designs, and exceptional user experiences.
We also support our customers through the full product development cycle, making sure our hardware meets all specs, and our firmware supports changes in downstream software applications.
