through tried and tested innovation workshops we capture the enthusiasm and vision of your product ideas and translate it into workable and manufacturable smart surfaces products with the help of our patented technology platform
Here are some areas in which we excel:
Generating ideas for new products involves various methods, such as conducting market research, gathering customer feedback, and brainstorming in a workshop setting with your team or external stakeholders.
We evaluate ideas to determine which ones have the most potential for success. We take into account factors such as market size, competition, technical feasibility, and financial viability to identify the most promising concepts.
We evaluate the potential profitability of the product. We analyse costs, sales projections, and market share to determine if the product is financially viable.
Sensing solutions
Our technology platform enables designers and engineers to rapidly innovate and create new physical user experiences for their next generation of products. Discover the freeform interactions we offer to enhance and integrate into your products.
Enjoy complete freedom of design for 3D interactions, forms and shapes where simply physically deforming the surface allows you to create endless combinations of buttons, joysticks, switches, rockers, toggles and triggers.
Based on capacitive sensing we can easily create touchpads, trackpads and other smart surfaces at a fraction of the cost of comparable solutions.
Using off-the-shelf components and materials, our technology allows you to accurately map the pressure and force of surface contact for a deeper understanding of how a user is interacting with the product.
Create fully multi-touch interfaces that combine traditional smart surface approaches with gestural and proximity sensing capability.
Our workshops bring together diverse perspectives and a range of tools and techniques to tackle complex challenges and develop innovative solutions, bringing new products to market.
Here's what to expect from your innovation sprint:
The brainstorming sessions will be led by a facilitator who will set the tone, encourage participation, and help the group stay on track.
At TG0, we have a team of in-house and external thought leaders and experienced professionals. We can incorporate them in workshops if there’s a fit and value for you.
To encourage a diverse range of ideas and perspectives, we welcome participants from various backgrounds to join our workshops. This could include individuals from different company departments or external stakeholders.
We focus on open-ended problems or challenges, rather than specific tasks or goals. Participants are encouraged to think creatively and generate as many ideas as possible, without being constrained by practical considerations.
We will include prototyping, role-playing, and group exercises. These activities help participants think through ideas and how to bring them to life in tangible ways
Innovation workshops are often iterative, with multiple sessions over a period of time. Participants build on previous ideas, refine their thinking, and develop new solutions.
Depending on your specific needs we may use various creative problem-solving methodologies to generate ideas.
While many of our customers come to TG0 with fully fleshed-out ideas and concepts for their products, sometimes they need help bringing them to life. This is where we come in. At TG0, we offer a range of services to help you ideate and formulate your concept, including workshops, design sprints, and feasibility studies. Additionally, you can experiment on your own with our Demo & Dev kit to explore the possibilities further.
We work with you to design the aspect side, also known as the A-side, which is the outer side of the product that customers typically interact with. You specify your product requirements such as:
The more information you can provide at this stage, the more comprehensive our proposal and technology offering can be. If needed, we are also happy to assist you in defining any of the requirements mentioned above.
Based on your concept, the TG0 design team designs and builds the B-surface structure, which includes the smart polymer sensor layer, the electronic architecture, and software that drives the whole system. Following this process, the product is ready to go for testing and certification.
Once the product concept is finalised, we work with you and other partners to bring your product to life. We complete various stages, prototyping, testing, certification and validation, up to mass manufacturing. We provide full guidance and transparency to get you the best product possible within your quality, certification, reliability and cost parameters.
Once in mass manufacturing, we can provide ongoing support for technology tuning, over the air firmware updates, data analysis, complement your physical product with a digital customer interface, and more.
Want to challenge the status quo of interaction? You are no longer limited by mechanical and physical constraints of traditional sensing components, films and mechatronics. Unleash your creativity and design a product that not only reflects your vision exactly, but also delights your customers.
