  Automotive

 

Driver distraction has become a significant issue in automotive user interfaces.The automotive industry has placed a large importance on creating safe and innovative ways to keep the driver's eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. A major drawback of touch controls is the lack of tactile feedback. This can lead to the driver taking their eyes off the road to see if their input was accepted. One of the main ways to address the driver distraction issue is to use haptics to provide tactile feedback in driver controls. By adding haptics, the driver can get the impression that they are pressing an actually button. Haptics can bring significant value to the automotive user experience.

 

Texas Instruments offers a complete line of haptic drivers. With automotive qualified haptic drivers, automotive manufacturers can reduce driver distraction and increase confidence within the vehicle by adding clear and fast response from the capacitive touch elements in their infotainment center console.Texas Instruments offers a complete line of haptic drivers.

 Medical care

 

Portable medical devices often use audible or visual alerts to notify the patient of potential issues. These alerts can be disruptive or even embarrassing to the user. Haptic feedback can be used in portable medical devices to replace audible alerts with silent, discreet tactile alerts. Haptic notifications can also be felt when the user is in an environment that is too noisy or distracting to hear or see other types of feedback.

 White goods & other industrial

 

As industrial human machine interfaces (HMI) start to develop more tablet-like control panels, the number of touch screens used in industrial applications is increasing. By using reliable touch interfaces, failure-prone moving parts can be removed, and moisture resistance is improved. Some of the industrial applications that have started to use more touch interfaces include point-of-sale devices, data terminals, ATMs, large home appliances, home automation systems, as well as industrial manufacturing machinery. Generally, these applications have control panels that provide visual and/or audible feedback. This can be a problem for individuals that are hearing impaired or individuals that are not used to using touch interfaces.
