Trondheim, Norway, 30th May 2024 – TouchNetix is proud to announce a groundbreaking new touch/force button-enabling solution - TactoSense. TactoSense enables combinations of touch and force sensing, alongside haptic triggering, and LED feedback. This is all easily facilitated by aXiom’s single chip technology. Using this solution, customers can integrate buttons, button bars, sliders, or joysticks within a variety of smart surfaces and materials.
