Development kit for prototyping mid-air haptic technology

Specialist in mid-air touchless haptic technology, Ultrahaptics, has introduced a development platform that allows companies to evaluate and appreciate the benefits of gesture controls enhanced by tactile feedback sensations. The UHDK5 TOUCH Development Kit provides a complete hardware and software package with an architecture that can be embedded in product designs, from prototypes through to volume production.

“Our haptic technology enables product designers to bring responsive gesture recognition to their customers in a way never previously imagined,” said David Owen, VP Business Development at Ultrahaptics. “Our aim in introducing this development kit is to speed up the evaluation and product development cycle and allow our customers to bring their differentiated product designs to market even quicker.”

Touchless controls are said to be hygienic for use in medical, industrial and domestic environments, such as hospitals, kitchens and restrooms, while their use for automotive infotainment and dashboard functions enhances safety, allowing drivers to keep their eyes on the road.

According to the company, the development kit works straight out of the box. For developers, the embeddable architecture (using an ARM Core plus FPGA) is said to ease integration and provides a production ready design that minimises BOM cost. Similarly, the provision of APIs, coded using the widely adopted C++ programming language, allows software engineers to adapt their application interfaces with customised sensations.
