The Sense of Touch

From our birth the sense of touch is a vital part of how we understand our world, feel connected, and appreciate subtle details in surfaces and vibrations. Cirque understands that developing the next generation of touchpads means delivering one that "feels right" to the touch and creates a rich user interface experience.

GlideSense Technology allows for new innovation in sensory interfaces. Imagine the perfect click everytime, across the entire touchpad surface. Or rich feedback like a simulated mouse wheel when doing a two-finger scroll. Eventually, textures and tactile feedback from applications will open the door to a new dimension of interaction with computers. With GlideSense, the possibilities are endless.

Haptic and Force Sensing - Larger touchpads and the potential for thinner stack-ups are driving renewed interest in haptic and force sensing solutions. Piezo transducers combine both haptic feedback and force sensing uniformly across the entire touchpad.

High Definition Haptics

Piezoelectric Haptics - high-definition (HD) haptic feedback for dynamic performance. Piezo transducers can work over a wider bandwidth, make pressure measurements, and vibrate at a wider frequency range than other haptic technologies. They are also available in many shapes and sizes to fit almost any industrial design.

 

Thin form factors

Dramatically thinner form factors enable larger batteries and slimmer laptops. This is made possible by eliminating hinges and switches, and utilizing ultra-thin piezo transducers.

Piezo haptic trackpads can be as thin as 2.4 mm while offering the best user experience possible.



Scalability with a Global Presence

Cirque's global presense is suplimented by manufacturing partners around the globe. This scalability provides companies with the flexibility to use GlideSense Touchpads in a wide range of products.
