With haptic feedback, you can see, hear, and FEEL what you are touching. This feedback improves performance, reduces errors, decreases mental workload, and enhances the user experience. As a licensed OEM integrator of the HapticTouch™ Surface Actuation System by Pacinian, Esterline Interface Technologies can give your input device distinct character. Pacinian’s HapticTouch technology provides realistic feedback, so everyone from texters to operators of medical test equipment can feel that they’ve hit the right key. HapticTouch uses two conductive materials that are charged and separated by a thin layer of air. When the touch surface is pressed, the charged layers pull together, causing the touch layer to actuate. This creates a feeling of a button depressing, even when there is no button. HapticTouch can also use vibration to provide feedback, and both methods can be adjusted to the user’s specifi cations. Not only is this the thinnest haptic design available on the market today, it is scalable to fi t a wide range of applications, form factors, and surface types.
