hapticTouch™ Technology:

Revolutionary. Transformative. Now.

HapticTouch™ technology from Pacinian isn't just a step forward in user interface tactile feedback; it's a quantum leap so revolutionary that it doesn’t even require an actuator.

Our patent pending Surface Actuation delivers the optimal tactile response at the point of contact. The result is a more compelling, highly satisfying user experience that enhances products in a wide array of applications and industries.

A Novel Approach

surface_actuate1The HapticTouch system creates surface level feedback using a simple yet elegant approach based on the principle of electrostatics. A charge differential is generated between the touch surface and a sub-surface, creating an attractive force, which causes motion of the touch surface. This movement can be precisely controlled to deliver a consistent, high fidelity response, resulting in a superior user experience.

To feel is To Believe

womanThere are many factors to consider regarding the implementation of any tactile feedback technology, including power efficiency, scalability, and cost. However, one characteristic is ultimately critical to users: the way it feels. Pacinian designed HapticTouch technology to provide a natural and confirming response that goes beyond the vibratory buzz of other solutions. It just feels right.

A Total Solution

Our Surface Actuation approach provides many other advantages over conventional haptic offerings:
  • Scalability – HapticTouch technology can be applied to small and large surfaces and a wide range of form factors.
  • Thin – our low profile design is the thinnest solution available.
  • Ease of Integration – The active surfaces can often be integrated into your existing industrial design, resulting in minimal changes and fast time to market.
  • Reliable – Our approach uses well understood materials and processes, so manufacturers can design systems for long life, even in the most hostile environments.
  • Power Efficient – HapticTouch systems sip power with minimal impact to battery life.
  • Fast Response Times – Surface response is virtually instantaneous, ensuring a compelling experience no matter how fast the interaction.
  • Design Freedom –HapticTouch technology enables next generation designs that exceed user expectations. Keyboard/keypads can be credit card thin, easily cleanable and fully rugged. Touch screens and touch pads can deliver intuitive tactile feedback for a satisfying user experience.  Appliances, automobiles, and industrial control systems can implement reliable, digital-sensing technology without sacrificing usability.
