Tactus Layer
Tactus Technology works on new touch screen. This
screen is called Tactus Layer, it is compatible with existing screen
technologies and touch sensors.
Smartphones, tablets, game consoles, and kiosks
equipped with the technology would sprout physical controls like QWERTY
keyboards and knobs on demand.
In other words, they designed a touch screen that
grows 3D buttons. Today, we
use flat touch screen controls. The Tactus design calls for sandwiching a fluid
between touch-screen layers and pushing the fluid around with a series of tiny
valves. The physical cues are especially
important for people who can't see well or who have trouble with fine hand
movements. They also make it easier to control your cell phone when it's in
your pocket.
The trick to making a morphing touch screen useful is
fitting it in a smartphone. The Tactus design calls for sandwiching a fluid
between touch-screen layers and pushing the fluid around with a series of tiny
valves. The top layer is flexible, so pushing the fluid to one part of the
screen raises the surface there.
