Thumbwheel

Our smallest rotary haptic device

Whether it’s a smartphone, camera, gaming hardware, or VR device – the small form factor of our INVENTUS thumbwheel provides tangible feedback and simplified operation in numerous application areas. 

We are convinced that the combination of touchscreen displays and secondary physical control interfaces with intelligent haptic force feedback are the future. Be ready for the next big thing!

The software-based control of the haptic feedback not only makes operation more intuitive but also more reliable. Our technology complements conventional touchscreens and ensures smooth and precise control – whether in conventional smartphone solutions or in new design concepts such as a situation-dependent adaptive hinge of a foldable display.

 

Keep full control over your inputs, even in situations where the display is difficult to use – whether in humid or wet conditions, with gloves or other restrictions.
