Touch-sensitive surfaces with integrated lighting for seamless integrations
touchskin User Interfaces are touch-sensitive surfaces with integrated lighting for the application in e.g. automotive interior and exterior surfaces, in appliances or in furniture surfaces. In some ways, the touchskin User Interfaces are like touch screens, but there are some major differences.
touchskin Is No Touch Screen
Unlike the touch screen, touchskin User Interfaces can be seamlessly integrated even in large 3D surfaces. Because of the 3D shapeable surface, for example, also a finger guide can be realized.
A touchskin User Interface consists of clearly defined controls and lighting elements, which are fixed positioned on the surface according to certain rules. The surface can be variously designed in terms of haptics, visual effects and forms.
touchskin User Interfaces are manufactured using multiskin technology. Therefore, the parts with touchskin User Interfaces can be realized very thin (<3mm) and lightweight.
5 Steps To Get Your touchskin User Interface
Step 1: Evaluate touchskin for your application
Take a look at the documentations we created for you. Each documentation contains detailed information allowing you to evaluate the touchskin concept technically and economically.

Step 2: Check the look and feel of touchskin User Interfaces
For each of the documented touchskin User Interfaces you will also have a demonstrator available in order to check the look and feel of the surface, the light quality and the quality of the touch function. With the documentation and the demonstrator, you will have all information required for profound decision-making.
