Haptic Technologies Will Play a Predominant Role in Autonomous Car HMI

We talked a lot about how haptic technologies can improve safety in the automotive industry. Haptics can improve the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) user experience of touchscreen infotainment systems and also the driver’s awareness with various types of warnings and alerts. It can also improve...

The Best Car HMI Input Device: Studies Show Touchscreen With Haptics

Touchscreens are in the middle of a security debate in the automotive industry. Some experts and journalists love them and would like to see all the knobs gone. Some simply hates car touchscreens and would prefer to keep mechanical buttons instead. The main argument against touchscreens is that...

The Tactile Internet – How 5G Will Power Future Haptic Applications

Internet is now in everything. It’s even used in many applications that weren’t an obvious fit a couple years ago: speakers, televisions, home appliances, cars, industrial machinery, etc. This phenomenon is called the Internet of Things (IoT). We covered this revolution and its impact on the...

3 Piezo Haptic Applications That Will Drive the Industry Revolution

We talked a lot about how haptics can improve consumer devices like smartphones, wearables, computers and automobiles. If you want to read more on this subject, we encourage you to look at our complete blog here. We have a lot of meaningful content on those subjects.

Piezo vs LRA: How Linear Resonant Actuators Compare to Piezo Haptics

A linear resonant actuator (LRA) creates vibration by moving a spring-suspended magnetic mass with a voice coil. It was the industry's answer to the weaknesses of eccentric rotating mass (ERM) motors, and for years it was the most efficient haptic technology available. This article is part two of...
