Bor¨¦as Provides Piezo Haptic Technology to Drive Extraordinary Growth in Mobile Gaming Market

2022/03/29 16:26:29

As mobile phone manufacturers in Greater China actively seek to differentiate their products in a highly competitive market, Bor¨¦as Technologies' piezoelectric haptic technology can play a key revolutionary role. This technology applies to gaming phones designed for enthusiasts and even esports professionals, as well as general-purpose smartphone products for casual gamers.

Haptics are technologies that provide users with haptic feedback capabilities, specifically designed to "feed back" data into the system control loop and its circuits. NexusTouch is a piezoelectric haptic technology-based smartphone button platform from Bor¨¦as Technologies, an integrated development platform that allows Android smartphone designers to turn the edge of a smartphone into an interactive touch area.

For example, with integrated piezoelectric haptic feedback, players can feel a steeply sloping track in a racing game in their hands through an input device, just as a driver would experience the pull in a real race car.

Stuart Nixdorff, Senior Vice President of Bor¨¦as Technologies, commented: "Piezo haptics is an attractive technological way for mobile phone makers in Greater China to offer their mobile phones in the mobile gaming market, which is growing beyond the exponential growth. Products add high-quality value and significant innovative designs.¡± Data speaks volumes, according to research firm Newzoo (Note), the rapid growth of the gaming industry will drive market revenue to $200 billion in 2024. Among them, the global mobile game market will generate $116.4 billion in revenue in 2024, achieving a staggering 58.2% growth rate. Nixdorff concludes: "The piezoelectric haptic technology we offer can push this number to even higher levels."


Haptics play a revolutionary role

The industry agrees that the mobile gaming industry is experiencing hyper-dynamic growth, which means that the features that appeal to enthusiastic gamers, including the all-important sensing technologies for split-second positioning and precise game play, are now "must-haves". of".

For example, by leveraging Bor¨¦as' ultra-low-power piezoelectric semiconductors and software technology, Piezo Adaptive Trigger Buttons provide an ultra-compact hardware platform that enables a massively customizable touch experience for gaming smartphones. For example, using piezoelectric haptic trigger buttons to change the way players feel when using a weapon in a first-person shooter game, or allowing players to experience context-aware vibrations when opening different locks in a puzzle game, use piezoelectricity. Real-world scenarios of haptic feedback technology.

With clear, direct localized haptic feedback, piezo game buttons reduce the feedback sensation to the precise area the user touches. In addition, piezoelectric gaming buttons detect user gestures and the force the user exerts on the edge of the smartphone, enabling developers to add new lightning-fast gaming capabilities. With a 10kHz touch sampling rate, Piezo Game Buttons capture user input in 0.1ms, faster than any other technology. The same hardware in a piezo game button can be used to sense force and actuate haptic functions with virtually no delay between user input and haptic feedback.

Goes far beyond local haptic functionality

The user interface can be extended to the edge of standard smartphones and gaming phones, which allows for seamless contextually relevant swipes, clicks and taps, while providing a very rich haptic feedback experience, providing a great deal for the top design of gaming phones. degrees of freedom.
