Haptic Feedback is communication through the sense of touch -- normally in the form of
vibrations. Piezoelectric haptic actuators have many advantages
over conventional magnetic actuators. They provide more than a simple buzz. They create
a richer haptic experience, as they allow single cycles, fast start-up, static deflection,
and independent frequency, amplitude and phase control capabilities.
They are ideal for body worn devices, touch screens, and handheld electronics, as they
are low power, thin and lightweight. Piezos are also non-magnetic, and can be used in
specialized bio-medical and industrial communication applications.
Mide's SHIVR piezoelectric haptic actuators share all of these advantages, plus the benefits
of Mide's Piezo Protection Advantage. Using flex-rigid-flex manufacturing techniques,
high performance piezos are packed into a protective skin with pre-attached leads.
Making them hermetically sealed, electrically insulated,
and robust, The built in electrical connection adds the
capability of creating multi-touch point arrays and provides a wide range of termination options,
making them easy to integrate into any system while providing the broadest array of haptic
effects. Mide also offers the SHIVR HEK-200 Evaluation
Kit. A complete kit which drives the the SP21B piezoelectric haptic actuator in three different
scenarios -- direct actuation, bonded actuation and inertial actuation. The kit generates
4 pre-written haptic patterns and provides an optional user input.
