Capacitive, Resistive, Surface Acoustic Wave, and Infrared Compatibility

Programmable haptic technology can supply fast response synchronized with sound and graphical image changes. Clarity and accuracy are unaffected for a wide range of touch screen sizes. The technology can be applied to all types of touch screens including capacitive, resistive (4-, 5-, and 8- wire), surface acoustic wave, and infrared.

When the user touches the screen, an analog signal is sent to the touch screen controller, which supplies information on the precise screen location where contact was made. This location information is sent to the host application, which commands the haptic controller to play a specified tactile effect.
