The VibeTonz® System: Not Just
for Touchscreens
The field-proven VibeTonz® System, comprised of VibeTonz Mobile Player
and VibeTonz SDK, delivers a broad range of touch feedback effects to
make phone use more intuitive and engaging.
Designed to be embedded in any mobile device, VibeTonz Mobile Player
exerts precise, high-speed control over the device's vibration actuator
to produce tactile effects with unprecedented subtlety and dynamics.
The VibeTonz SDK provides cross-platform APIs and a suite of authoring
tools for making development and customization of touch feedback effects
fast and easy. The VibeTonz System has been implemented in mobile phones
offered by leading operators worldwide to enhance the user experience
in diverse applications:
- VibeTonz synchronized vibrations in ringtones underscore the beat
or melody, supplying the feeling that you've turned up the subwoofers.
- VibeTonz-enabled ringtones have also been used for caller identification,
where they provide information on who's calling even in noisy environments
or when sound is turned off.
- Mobile game play is more fun and exciting with touch feedback similar
to that found in console games.
- VibeTonz tactile cues in user interface features, like call dropped,
key press, and ringing and busy signals, make phone operation easier.
- VibeTonz cues can also be added to navigation features, helping users
find unread or important messages, friends in the address book, and
particular menu items quickly.
- Alerts using VibeTonz effects can be made more distinguishable from
each other and also more memorable. Users are more likely to remember
the reason for the particular alert if it is distinct and discernible — a
subtle tapping, a reverberation like Big Ben's clock tower, or the
rhythm of ocean waves, for example.
