AAC Technologies announced a strategic partnership with UltraSense Systems, innovators of SmartSurface touch interfaces, to create holistic touch experience solutions for automotive and consumer electronics markets. As consumers demand more intuitive touch interfaces, the AAC and UltraSense partnership can help accelerate the industry transition from mechanical buttons to solid-state digital buttons. UltraSense TouchPoint HMI Controllers are already in production in automotive applications like infotainment systems, steering wheels, and EV motorized charge port door systems. AAC's RichTap linear actuator motors and rendering engine achieve multi-dimensional haptic experiences across a range of scenarios.

Together, UltraSense HMI Controllers and AAC RichTap enable multi-mode touch and haptic feedback for an elevated user touch experience. UltraSense and AAC collaborate to create joint designs for automotive and consumer electronics. The AAC and UltraSense partnership reduces engineering development time required to fuse multi-mode touch, backlighting, and haptic experiences as a fully integrated solution, while accelerating the ability to replace the last mechanical buttons with touch-on-metal interfaces and sliders to offer a premium interactive experience.

Touch, pressure, and haptic feedback, with complemental advantages, are necessary and inseparable with each other to provide ultimate user experiences. With such partnership, more imagination and opportunity will come in the future. In addition to streamlining design and development time, the strategic agreement between UltraSense and AAC enables joint sales and marketing opportunities with strategic customers.
