Capacitive and tactile sensing

Simulate more human-like interactions with advanced capacitive sensing.

Move beyond traditional, costly, complex and unsustainable capacitive sensing methods with limited surface interactions.

  • Develop new interactions: Existing polymers can be molded into any shape for more intuitive tactile sensing.
  • No surface limitations: The b-side technology allows for any material finish or colour.
  • Create a deeper sense of touch: More accurate and human-like sensing on product surfaces.
  • Save on parts & components: Simplified architecture allows for fewer electronic parts for streamlined manufacturing and assembly.
Touch sensing surface 3d render

Create intuitive and ergonomic tactile capabilities that can be applied to any surface.

Integrate high-resolution touch sensing for enhanced user experiences.

TG0 technology empowers the surfaces and materials you are already using in your devices with force and tactile sensors, making them smarter by enabling touch sensing on flat and fully 3D surfaces. 

Different material surface

Build simpler

Capacitive touch & force sensing with reduced electrode connections.

Embed touch sensing with tactile capabilities, including multi-touch XY and Z touch and gesture controls, with fewer electrodes than existing solutions.

Vendor agnostic capacitive sensing chips.

Free yourself from supply chain constraints and gain full flexibility of chip suppliers with off-the-shelf microcontrollers and electronics for HMI solutions.

Design differently

Seamless surfaces that are weather, dirt and dust-sealed.

Seamless surfaces have no styling gaps, are easier to weather seal and allow you to reach higher IP ratings. It makes them highly reliable and suitable for various applications of tactile sensing.

Robust quality with sacrificing material choice.

A variety of surface material choice, maintaining brand styling, aesthetics and expectations.
