The buttons, their cover, and the compliant bits that act as a spring can be 3D printed as a complete unit that requires no assembly, and can be used fresh off the print bed.

Last week at CES, Tactus Technology was demonstrating their new Tactus Morphing Tactile technology, which can change the texture of a tablet screen when required to create physical buttons.

Essential for many industries ranging from Hollywood computer-generated imagery to product design, 3D modeling tools often use text or image prompts to dictate different aspects of visual ...

By interpreting motion data from the sensor, the device allows for intuitive model manipulation in CAD software like Fusion 360, while a tactile button adds support for panning and zooming actions.

Active tactile exploration effectively reconstructs 3D shapes, particularly when visual input is limited. However, current Gaussian process (GP)-based methods primarily capture global shapes, often ...
