Surface Haptics Markets, 2027

DUBLIN, Sept. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Surface Haptics Markets 2018-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report identifies the latest opportunities in surface haptics markets. Until recently the only widely used haptics effects have been vibration notifications and alarms in mobile electronics and the shaking of certain gaming accessories. This rudimentary haptics technology is being upgraded more sophisticated and powerful capabilities.

The surface haptics commercial issues discussed in this report include the following:

The emergence of entirely new features in mobile electronics. These might include virtual keyboards and buttons, virtual material textures and geographical topographies, customized multi-mode notifications and alerts, and more

Where the next opportunities for surface haptics will be found beyond its current use in consumer electronics. The report discusses how in the automotive sector surface haptics will not only improve convenience and comfort, but also enhance safety of driving by removing necessity to watch fingers when operating touch screen device. Haptics applications can be realized in the aerospace market through surface haptics-enabled touch screen interfaces and haptics-enhanced control stick. Other areas where there is commercial potential for surface haptics is in gaming, education, and healthcare and other forms of advertising

The evolution of the currently dominant mechanical surface haptic actuation as well entirely new actuation methods (like, electrostatic, ultrasonic, thermal, etc.) and haptics software libraries, to accommodate variety of haptic feedback modes and types: vibrations, forces and pressures.

Coverage of the report is international with a discussion of how surface haptics markets will evolve in the US, Europe and Asia. In addition, the report provides 10-year forecasts of surface haptics markets in volume and value terms with breakouts by application, technology and geography. The report will also review the activities of leading firms active in the surface haptics space. These companies already include big names such as Apple, Google, Sony, Nokia, Microsoft, Fujitsu, Bosch, Kyocera, and Fuji Xerox, as well as startups and major universities.
