Access Control Keypads
Access Control - permit or deny the access to areas and resources in a given physical facility.
Building Automation – increase the performance of your Building Automation System at the field level.
Custom Electronics – customize and simplify residential electronic systems with architectural quality keypads.
Security – improved performance in vending and kiosk applications with increased durability.
Haptic Technology
Actuators - Haptics is enabled by the actuators that apply the forces to the skin for touch feedback. A wider range of effects and rapid response times mean better control.
Teleoperators and simulators - for remote controlled robotic tools. When contact forces are reproduced to the operator, it is called "haptic teleoperation". Example: Medical and flight simulators.
Computer and video games – that allow the haptic simulation of objects, textures, recoil, momentum, physical presence of objects in games.
Mobile consumer technologies - tactile haptic feedback is becoming common in cellular devices (vibration response to touch). Example: touch-screen car navigation and stereo units.
Virtual reality - Haptics add a sense of touch to previously visual-only solutions. Example: user interfaces to the virtual world via a tool or stylus adding a form of interaction.
Research – to provide feedback, allowing discrimination between various shapes, textures, and resiliencies.
Medicine - haptic interfaces for medical simulation training of minimally invasive procedures and remote surgery using teleoperators. Haptics is used as a teaching aid in palpatory diagnosis (detection of medical problems via touch).
Robotics – Haptics aid in the use of touch, pressure, and position to reproduce user tactile sensation.
Arts and design – Haptics allow interactivity in real-time with virtual objects. Haptics are used in virtual arts for synthesis of sound or for graphic design and animation. |
