We continue to extend our tools to bring developer support to new market categories where OEMs are embracing touch features:
Automotive
Automotive control systems use haptic effects for a host of reasons including to save space and increase safety. An automotive designer integrating a tactile control surface or a multifunction rotary control into a dashboard will benefit from the intuitive and flexible interfaces we engineer into every one of our tactile tools and APIs.
Commercial & Industrial Systems
Kiosks, ATMs, POS, and industrial control systems with haptics provide unmistakable confirmation, which improves user efficiency and accuracy. With haptics, these systems overcome problems associated with noise and distraction, and offer relief for busy, multitasking users. A designer integrating a haptic-enabled control surface or a multifunction rotary control can use our tools and APIs to easily build in helpful and intuitive tactile cues.
Consumer Electronics
Consumer electronic devices use full-fidelity haptic effects to make user experiences more intuitive and emotionally engaging. A consumer electronics user experience specialist helping to develop a touch-driven music player or desktop printer can use our tools to refine touch feedback effects that will be integral to the device’s usability.
Gaming
Rumble is essential to a first-class gaming experience. For over a decade, the arcade, PC, Mac, and console game development community has used our gaming technology to take advantage of Immersion force feedback and rumble technologies. These systems and peripherals include those from manufacturers like Sony, Microsoft, Logitech, Saitek, ThrustMaster, and host of others. Over 700 game titles have been enabled.
Mobile Phones
Haptics in mobile phones is gaining momentum. The mobile content community is fully prepared to exploit the capabilities of handsets using Immersion technology to render touch sensations. Mobile multimedia artists and software designers can author richly textured tactile effects to enhance mobile games, music, video, and user interfaces on supported phones. APIs for programmatic control are available for all major mobile development platforms including Java, BREW, and WIPI.
