Haptic engine module manages piezo actuators in space-constrained applications
Boréas Technologies unveiled the Boréas Piezo Haptic Engine (Boréas PHE), the first module to harness the high performance of piezo actuators to solve wearable devices’ most significant challenge—achieving true high-definition (HD) haptic feedback in a broad range of low-power space-constrained devices. The Boréas PHE is a major advancement over the two legacy technologies that have dominated haptics in […]
