Working with our client Continental Automotive GmbH, we have developed a completely new user experience using the very first 3D haptic touch display.

The Challenge

A touch display that is intuitive and non-distracting to use: this was an exciting challenge that we were happy to take on.

The Outcome

Based on the solution developed, a new type of 3D interface was created with topographical elements and tactile feedback. Precisely tailored to drivers’ user behaviour, we created a user interface that intuitively recognises finger movements to such an extent that it can be used blind. A completely new interface development that significantly increases safety while driving.

How to develop a touch display that can be truly operated blind:
