Risks of using under-powered batteries in haptics

Posted on3 Nov, 20169 Dec, 2019

Many haptic applications, in particular, wearables, face severe trade-offs in overcoming limitations in power supplies. A battery’s volume is directly related to a host of other desirable specifications, such as voltage, current, or capacity. For many designers, squeezing as much life out of their battery Continue reading

Which haptic effects should you use?

Posted on16 Dec, 201529 Nov, 2019

Haptic feedback is all about transmitting information to the user, often they are required to tell the difference between the multiple types of notification. This is where we enter the world of human factors engineering, or ‘ergonomics’. This is the discipline that considers how humans interact Continue reading

Custom Haptic Feedback Gear Stick on Ford Mustang

Posted on9 Aug, 20138 Feb, 2019

We recently stumbled across a project from Ford’s excellent OpenXC program by Ford engineer Zac Nelson. Zac has created a custom knob for gear sticks that implements haptic feedback to communicate the best time to change gear to the driver. OpenXC allows for the development of custom software and hardware Continue reading
