Dynamic touchscreens

We love touchscreens and the benefits they bring but – sometimes – the lack of tactility involved causes a vague, unsatisfied feeling.

If you yearn for good, old-fashioned buttons then you’ll be happy to hear that Tactus Technology has developed ‘Tactile Layer’ – a thin covering that sits on top of a touchscreen which gives users the feeling of buttons with the versatility of a touchscreen.

How does it work? The Tactile Layer is composed of fluid-filled microchannels which can be redirected to form button-like blisters but, sadly, you’ll have to wait until next year to get your hands on them.
