Let’s set the scene. You are a design engineer who just created a prototype of a membrane switch and graphic overlay. After extensive lab testing in a controlled environment, everything checks out great and there are no issues to report. However, when put up against real world elements, accidental actuations and false touch triggers begin to occur. There’s actually a name for this.
It’s called capacitive variance and design engineers see it as a thorn in their side. Just about anything can cause variance, from noise interference such as radio frequency to rain water, and even the type of gloves you wear can make it nearly impossible to use a touchpad. This may not seem like much, but in the manufacturing world, capacitive variance can result in lost production, time-consuming redesigns and even costly recalls.
Introducing Heuristic Signature Sensing better known as HSS™ Intelligent Touch Sensing Technology. This revolutionary new solution from Cubbison utilizes touch signatures, not predetermined capacitive set-points, to sense with 100% accuracy when a touch happens. Unlike traditional capacitive threshold sensing, our approach recognizes adjustable touch signatures and omits anything that does not match. Cubbison HSS provides the opportunity for touch systems to account for any type of variance and sense true touch events every time and in the most challenging environments.
Removing the set-points opens the door for a more consistent user experience and provides a number of benefits, including:
Experience HSS and see firsthand how intelligent touch sensing technology is revolutionizing the marketplace. Our demonstration video shows how common types of capacitive variance are no match for HSS. Your hands will thank us!
