| Tactus Technology has developed technology which can turn a typical flat tablet screen into a physical keyboard with tactile buttons. The company uses innovative microfluidic technology to create physical buttons that rise from the touchscreen to give users the experience of operating a physical keyboard. |
Back in June last year, Tactus caused quite a stir with the first public demonstration of its patented Tactile Layer™ component, a next-generation haptic user interface with real physical buttons, or shapes that rise out of the surface from any touchscreen.
The Tactus Tactile Layer technology is the world's first deformable tactile surface that creates dynamic physical buttons that users can actually see and feel in advance of entering data into the device.
Tactus uses innovative microfluidic technology to create physical buttons that rise from the touchscreen to give users the experience of operating a physical keyboard. When no longer needed, the buttons recede back into the touchscreen, leaving no trace of their presence.
At CES last week, Michah Yairi from Tactus demonstrated the application of the microfluidic interface for video journalist Dave Lee.
