Tactile sensing

More freedom. More human-like interactions.

Fewer electronic connections. Less complexity. 

TG0 is an all-in-one touch and pressure based capacitive sensing platform, re-inventing and setting the industry standard for how tactile sensors & interactions between human and machines feel and behave

TG0’s tactile and force mapping sensor solutions can be found across various industries and use cases

Capacitive and tactile sensing

Capacitive sensing that actually simulates a human-like touch

Capacitive sensing as we know it is often costly, complex and unsustainable, with simplistic and uninteresting surface interactions. Until now.

  • New interaction opportunities: Polymers can be molded into any shape for realistic tactile sensing
  • New surfacing options: Works with any material finish
  • Deeper sense of touch: More accurate and human-like sensing on arbitrary surfaces
  • Simpler architecture: Fewer electronic parts for simpler manufacturing and assembly

Capacitive sensing with intuitive and ergonomic tactile capabilities that can be applied to any surface

High-resolution touch sensing on arbitrary surfaces

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 and your preference of look and feel

You decide what kind of finish, quality, pattern and shape your touch interface will have. TG0 does the rest
