Revolutionary solid-surface touch interfaces enhance the driver’s user experience by moving key functions from the screen to easily accessible touch points.
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ –Today, UltraSense Systems, an emerging leader in automotive semiconductor human-machine interface (HMI) controllers and touch HMI system designs, announced that consumers now experience its TouchPoint Q controller in numerous SUV and sedan production vehicles.
Through its collaboration with Korean supplier Mobase Electronics Co. Ltd, the UltraSense TouchPoint Q controller augments Mobase’s capacitive technology by detecting specific force patterns and thresholds for the infotainment system in 2024 (Korea models) and 2025 (Korea models). global) of Genesis GV80, GV70. and G80 SUV and sedan platforms, which enhance the driver experience with a premium solid surface and robust touch interface.
In partnership with BCS Automotive Interface Solutions (BCS-AIS) in China, the UltraSense TouchPoint Q controller has been added to capacitive touch steering wheels for several vehicle models of the FAW Group, the second largest of China’s “Big Four” state-owned automakers. China. Production models with steering wheels using UltraSense include Hongqi’s EH7 EV platforms, EH7 convertible, and EHS7 SUV.
The UltraSense TouchPoint Q controller was selected for its unique piezoelectric properties over parallel plate piezoresistive, optical and capacitive force sensing technologies including:
For steering wheels we were looking for a solution that could detect the force of many buttons at the same time. The UltraSense TouchPoint Q controller provided us with a cost-effective way to use a single controller for all the buttons on the steering wheel switch box,” added Tim Zhou, BCS-AIS R&D Director.
“OEMs are beginning to require Force Touch to integrate with capacitive touch sensing to eliminate potential false activations due to inadvertent touches or environmental interference. The UltraSense TouchPoint Q controller allowed us to quickly adopt and ramp up production,” said SM Park, director R&D for Mobase Electronics.
“We are delighted with the rapid adoption of our UltraSense TouchPoint HMI controller portfolio by our esteemed tier vendor partners,” said Mo Maghsoudnia, Founder and CEO of UltraSense Systems. “Our goal is to make life easier for our customers by providing them with complete, easy-to-integrate HMI controllers and holistic HMI system design modules that seamlessly integrate solid surface touch interfaces into modern vehicle interiors and exteriors.”
UltraSense Systems will demonstrate many of its TouchPoint HMI controllers and touch HMI system designs at InCabin USA 2024, May 21-23 at Huntington Place in downtown Detroit.
