The Addition of Hapticals (= physical input devices) creates value by enabling interactions on a touchscreen without a direct view and adding a more tangible experience.
‍
Haptics are low-price and low-complex input devices, that make use of the sensor surface of capacitive touchscreens – no extra wiring required.

Strong vibrations can add the feeling of latching points to Hapticals – with different articulations depending on the function currently displayed.

The Haptical offers the rich experience of mechanical interaction with the flexibility of over-the-air updates of a purely digital interface.

Based on my explorations, an exemplary cockpit interface for the Infotainment system of semi-autonomous vehicles was developed.
