London, 31 December 2015: Technavio, the independent tech-focused global research firm, has published a report on the global haptics technology in consumer electronics 2015-2019, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 21.1% during 2014-2019.
Touch screen interface has become one of the preferred interfaces in various consumer electronic devices, ranging from mobile devices to gaming consoles, wearables, and personal navigation devices. Touchscreens provide advanced device functionalities like dynamic and contextual user interfaces. Haptic enabled touch screens are more interactive, intuitive, and engaging, and can be applied in all types of touch screens that are currently available for consumer electronic devices such as capacitive, infrared, resistive, and surface acoustic wave
“Research activities are being carried out to design systems that will create 3D virtual objects that can be seen and felt in the air. For instance, researchers in Japan have created floating 3D holographic plasma display with haptic feedback. HaptoMime system is embedded with infrared sensors that detect the motion of a user’s hand or fingers, and synchronize it with the projected image,” says Faisal Ghaus, Vice President of Technavio.
