Active Sensing Technology

Smart Sensing System for Getting the Haptic Experience Just Right.

Active Sensing Technology takes haptics to the next level with motion sensing + smart control technology. Rapidly responding to the haptic system’s current state, Active Sensing Technology can realistically recreate button pushes, dial turns, and sliders. The technology gives device makers to deliver a fully interactive digital display with programmable touch surfaces.

Made for suspension mounting and whole device vibration, Active Sensing Technology can be used for automotive, mobile and IoT devices.
