BORÉAS PIEZO HAPTIC ENGINE
The Linear Resonant Actuator (LRA) represented the gold standard in haptics for mobile and wearable devices. The truth is, the LRA performance peaked and is now limiting haptic experiences. Interaction designers need new technologies to unlock the next generation of haptic effects.
Enter the Boréas Piezo Haptic Engine (Boréas PHE). Our new innovative piezo haptic engine enables rich and highly detailed haptic effects that are not possible to create with legacy technologies.
The Boréas Piezo Haptic Engine provides the next generation of haptic experiences in consumer electronics.
HOW IT WORKS
The Boréas Piezo Haptic Engine's innovative design uses internal components' mass to generate haptics while reducing the solution's size. Using piezo actuators, the Boréas PHE enables a new generation of consumer electronics haptics.
Internal components in a mobile or wearable device represents a significant part of the device's total weight. Therefore, using a small piezo actuator to vibrate internal mass creates more forceful feedback than a similar-sized LRA or ERM.
NEXT WAVE OF HAPTIC EXPERIENCES
Using an accelerometer to find your actuator's resonant frequency for the most effective haptic feedback may seem logical, but it doesn't necessarily translate into pleasant haptic feelings.
The human skin has different mechanoreceptors that sense different frequencies. High frequencies can translate into unpleasant haptics and make your device feel cheap, which is usually the case with small wearable devices.
The Boréas Piezo Haptic Engine generates strong haptics on a large frequency bandwidth in a small volume. It is perfect to craft enjoyable haptic experiences and give your electronic device a premium feel.
Powerful Haptic Feedback
Thanks to the internal components, a more important moving mass translates into a powerful vibration force. The Boréas Piezo Haptic Engine is stronger than similar-sized LRAs or ERMs.
Low Power Consumption
Using a CapDrive piezo driver enables lower power consumption than competing piezo drivers and legacy technologies like ERM and LRA.
Fast Rise Time
Faster rise time (and fall time) enables sharper haptic effects in your electronic devices.
Perfect for natural HD haptics.
