TouchSense Programmable Rotary Modules
Enhance Performance and Functionality

TouchSense® Programmable Rotary Modules fills the void between words and pictures, sound and motion, and traditional mechanical switches and encoders. By incorporating programmable touch feedback effects such as barriers, hills and constant force into a user interface device, you enhance control, productivity, easy of use, safety, ergonomics—and user satisfaction. As a licensed OEM integrator of TouchSense® Programmable Rotary Modules by Immersion®, Advanced Input Systems can give your user input device its own distinctive character—a “personality”— to create significant competitive advantage.

Historically, user experience has been a key to product market success. Give users the right features—and streamlined, intuitive operation—and you’ve created a significant competitive advantage. The challenge is finding the balance between functional richness and ease of use. And if you want to satisfy a broad range of uses and preferences, your challenge is even greater.

A winning user experience requires a design solution that supplies intuitive access to layers of functionality, or possibly even personalized features. The solution needs to consist of an elegant and ergonomic industrial design that meets space constraints.

TouchSense Programmable Rotary Modules enable a flexible, intelligent design solution for today’s user interface—and an alternative to mechanical switches, encoders, and other types of electromechanical input devices. These modules can be configured to supply users with touch feedback appropriate for the context of operation. With a wide selection of tactile or haptic effects—detents, barriers, vibrations, or other sensations—designers can leverage the under-used sense of touch. The multimodal combination of touch, sight, and sound in user controls can enhance productivity, ease of use, safety, ergonomics—and user satisfaction.
