Printable Version › Next-generation TouchSense Vibration White Paper › Best Practices for Use of Vibration Feedback in Video Console Games White Paper

Compared to current dual-motor systems, next-generation TouchSense® vibration technology supports:

• Richer, and even more realistic and complex force feedback effects. This is possible by supplying a much broader frequency range and by exerting more precise control over the vibration actuator. Easy-to-use authoring tools allow developers to fully take advantage of these capabilities.
• Faster response/lower latency for a tighter synchronization with onscreen graphic and audio events.
• Lower battery consumption for equivalent sized motors; less weight (a convenience for implementing motion control); and deployment in the same or less space.
• Backward compatibility for tactile effects in games designed for current dual-motor systems.
• No increase in cost, and in many cases, lower cost, by reducing two motors to only one actuator.
