Camera Control Thumbwheel
Our smallest rotary haptic device
Whether it’s a smartphone, camera, gaming hardware, or VR device – the small form factor of our INVENTUS thumbwheel provides tangible feedback and simplified operation in numerous application areas.
We are convinced that the combination of touchscreen displays and secondary physical control interfaces with intelligent haptic force feedback are the future. Be ready for the next big thing!
The software-based control of the haptic feedback not only makes operation more intuitive but also more reliable. Our technology complements conventional touchscreens and ensures smooth and precise control – whether in conventional smartphone solutions or in new design concepts such as a situation-dependent adaptive hinge of a foldable display.
Keep full control over your inputs, even in situations where the display is difficult to use – whether in humid or wet conditions, with gloves or other restrictions.
Scrolling
Scrolling chats, feeds, documents, or newspaper articles has never felt so natural thanks to the INVENTUS thumbwheel with application-specific haptic feedback.
Zooming
Focus, zoom, shutter speed – with full control and increased precision thanks to haptic feedback, taking photos with the smartphone becomes even more intuitive
Navigation
Never miss a key scene again! With the INVENTUS thumbwheel technology, your customers easily navigate through media content or adjust the volume of the device without covering the screen.
Weather conditions
Keep full control over your inputs, even in situations where the display is difficult to use – whether in humid or wet conditions, with gloves or other restrictions.
Numerous functions
Thanks to the freely programmable haptic feedback, you can optimize the operation of your device for any usage situation – for operating the device on the ski slope with gloves, for guided control of the brightness based on the actual brightness, or for setting the recommended maximum volume, adapted to environmental noise.
Integration options
The slim design in combination with the low power consumption of the system enables direct integration into the housing on the one hand, but also the use as an accessory or optional attachment on the other hand.
Protected innovation
Thanks to our extensive international patents, your product innovation is protected in the best possible way.
