One Interface, Endless Capabilities
Boréas Piezo Solid-State Button transforms how users interact with AR glasses by solving a fundamental problem: controlling devices you can't see. Our technology enhances capacitive touch with precise, localized haptic feedback, creating a complete sensory experience that users can feel and trust.
Imagine navigating menus, adjusting volume, or selecting options on your AR glasses—all through intuitive touch controls on the temple. By combining capacitive sensing with our piezo haptic technology, the Solid-State Button acts as both a pressure-sensitive button and a dynamic slider, delivering distinct tactile sensations for each action. With force-sensing that eliminates accidental inputs and localized haptic feedback that confirms every interaction without shaking the entire frame, users gain confident, private control through vibration rather than disruptive audio cues
The Hidden Interface Problem
Today's AR glasses face a critical usability challenge: users must control complex digital interfaces through buttons and touch surfaces positioned on the temples—completely outside their field of view. Current capacitive touch solutions, while thin and sleek, leave users guessing whether they've successfully pressed a button, selected a menu item, or adjusted a setting.
This "blind interaction" problem compounds when navigating through multi-level menus or performing precise adjustments. Without tactile confirmation, users resort to trial-and-error tapping, accidentally triggering unwanted functions, or worse—removing their glasses to use companion apps. Every uncertain interaction breaks the immersive AR experience and frustrates users who expect the same intuitive control they enjoy on their smartphones.
Multi-Modal Control in One Surface
Our Solid-State Button transforms a single touch surface into multiple controls. Press for selection, slide for navigation, or apply varying pressure for different functions. The piezo technology provides distinct haptic patterns for each interaction mode through private vibration feedback rather than disruptive audio
Ultra-Efficient Localized Feedback
Unlike LRAs that shake entire frames, our piezo haptic technology delivers localized feedback precisely where users touch while ensuring comfortable wear—no uncomfortable facial vibrations that would make extended AR sessions unbearable, addressing critical challenges in wearable AR design.
Zero False Inputs, Total Confidence
Force-sensing technology measures actual pressure, not just contact, eliminating the accidental activations that plague capacitive systems. Users can rest their fingers on controls without triggering unwanted actions, while intentional presses deliver immediate haptic confirmation. This precision is crucial when controlling AR interfaces during active use.
Recommended Part
For AR glasses solid-state buttons, we recommend the Boréas Technologies BOS1921. This flagship piezo haptic driver offers high-voltage, low-power operation with advanced sensing capabilities. Ideal for battery-powered AR wearables, the BOS1921 delivers sophisticated haptic feedback and force sensing while ensuring ultra-efficient power consumption and seamless integration into compact frame designs.
