Daca va uitati la imaginea trimisa de Apple impreuna cu invitatia la conferinta iPad 3 veti observa ca acolo compania spune ca urmeaza sa ne prezinte un produs pe care vom dori sa il vedem dar sa il si atingem. Nimeni nu stia ce inseamna ultima parte a acestui tagline, cel putin pana astazi cand un reprezentant al unei companii numite Senseg a refuzat sa dea detalii in legatura cu tehnologia, cel putin pana la terminarea conferintei Apple. Aceasta tehnologie este asemanatoare cu haptic feedback-ul, adica ofera utilizatorilor feeback atunci cand ating ecranul tabletei si prin feedback ma refer la stimularea celulelor nervoase folosind campuri electrostatice si vibratii. Feel Screen a fost prezentata deja la CES 2012 si Mobile World Congress 2012 iar cei care au testat-o sustin ca tot ceea ce compania descrie in site-ul sau este cat se poate de adevarat.
Senseg is a haptics technology company founded just five years ago, the start of Nokia’s decline. Unlike haptics until this point, Senseg is working on creating complex textures rather than simply buzzing your fingertips. The aim is to make a corrugated surface feel corrugated, a rough surface rough, a soft surface soft. The first products will ship by the end of this year and again Nokia is not Senseg’s first port of call. ‘We are currently working with a certain tablet maker based in Cupertino,’ reveals Senseg senior vice president Ville Mäkinen.
Tehnologia Feel Screen a celor de la Senseg este descrisa ca fiind una cu adevarat revolutionara deoarece ar schimba complet experienta de utilizare a unei tablete. Practic ecranul va oferi feedback prin intermediul unor “campuri electrice” si vibratii iar acel feedback va fi actionat in functie de imaginea care este afisata pe ecran. Sa spunem ca pe ecran aveti afisata o imagine cu o bucata de matase, ei bine daca trageti degetul pe ecran acesta va oferi un tip de feedback electrostatic si vibratii care ar trebui sa va dea senzatia ca atingeti acel material. Daca pe ecran se afla o imagine cu o zona cu zgura sau o zona cu pietre, ecranul ar trebui sa ofere feedback conform mediului respectiv. Tehnologia Senseg permite dezvoltatorilor sa controleze aproape in totalitate modul in care utilizatorii interactioneaza cu aplicatiile deci va fi nevoie de aplicatii speciale pentru a beneficia de tehnologie.
With Senseg, touch screens come alive with textures, contours and edges that users can feel. Using Senseg technology, makers of tablet computers, smart phones, and any touch interface device can deliver revolutionary user experiences with high fidelity tactile sensations. Your customers will Feel the Difference with Senseg. Unlike effects created by mechanical vibration and piezo solutions, Senseg is silent. Moreover, with Senseg application developers have precise control of the location and type of effect users experience. What’s more, Senseg technology scales from touch pads, smart phones and tablets to the largest touch screens without increasing manufacturing complexity.
Tehnologia celor de la Senseg este mult mai complexa decat haptic feedback-ul oferit in alte dispozitive disponibile pe piata si daca ea va fi implementata in iPad 3 va revolutiona cu adevarat acest produs. Reprezentantii Senseg au fost intrebati daca tehnologia lor va fi implementata in iPad 3 si au sustinut ca abia dupa conferinta vor oferi detalii deci ramane sa va dati voi cu parerea daca vom vedea o tableta iPad 3 care va schimba complet modul in care simtim tot ceea ce vedem pe ecran.
By using “tixels” generated by electric fields from elements embedded around the screen, it can make areas of the screen feel rough, ridged or rounded – and change those just as the screen pixels can change. Senseg patented solution creates a sophisticated sensation of touch using Coloumb’s force, the principle of attraction between electrical charges. By passing an ultra-low electrical current into the insulated electrode, Senseg’s Tixel™, the proprietary charge driver can create a small attractive force to finger skin. By modulating this attractive force a variety of sensations can be generated, from textured surfaces and edges to vibrations and more.
UPDATE 15:26: Am adaugat un clip video care ilustreaza modul in care functioneaza tehnologia Feel de la Senseg.
