HoloActive Touch – A Hologram with Haptic Feedback
HoloActive TouchIn, a unique human-machine communication. How we co-developed a system that controls car multimedia, holograms, and haptic resonance.
Our Final Result
Overview
Challenge
In the future passengers will be able to engage with non-driving related tasks while driving in a car and interact with the car in a new manner.
Solution
We developed a hologram as an UX element for the entertainment system.The user could feel a haptic feedback in his fingertip when pressing the floating holographic controls. This was achieved through the combination and calibration of two independently coordinated systems which could generate the haptic feedback at the desired position.
