HaptICS – Haptical Inter­face Commu­ni­ca­tion System

Matrix 5c

Deve­lo­p­ment of hapti­cally supported input/​output devices for the mulit­media inter­face of a vehicle cockpit

The aim was to develop a system for dealing with abstract, haptic key stimuli and to develop tech­nical imple­men­ta­tions in an assumed car cockpit situa­tion. Traffic situa­tions should be easier to manage through imple­men­ta­tion in terms of safety, comple­xity reduc­tion and driving comfort. Both in the elabo­ra­tion of the system and in the deve­lo­p­ment of the hard­ware compon­ents, a modular and scalable concept was imple­mented that can be projected into diffe­rent opera­ting situa­tions with minor changes. With the indus­trial partner, the neces­sary foun­da­tions for series produc­tion could be created.
