Touchscreen technology boasts a tactile edge
Earlier this week Immersion Corporation released its TouchSense technology for touchscreens at the SID Symposium.
With the TouchSense System, traditionally passive touch interfaces "come alive" to provide a greater connection with the user.
Benefits can include increased efficiency, understanding, and user satisfaction for a broad range of consumer, commercial, industrial, and medical applications.
"It is important that device manufacturers offer the maximum possible amount of sensory feedback for their input devices, as users often can't confirm their input selection and become frustrated", says Jack Gold, President of J Gold Associates.
