Apple integrates next-generation iPhone and iPad tablet new sensor technology that will literally feel the interface elements on the display. This publication reports Cnet, with reference to a patent application filed by the engineers in Cupertino Corporation Office of Patents and trademarks of the United States.
The document describes in detail the implementation of tactile feedback in touch-screens iPhone, iPad and trackpad Mac. This is the placement of piezoelectric actuators near the capacitive sensors, so that users can feel the vibration of only a single point on the screen.
The new technology will allow users to receive i-gadgets small impact when you click on links or icons. The developers of Apple also describe the use of force sensors that can determine how much users click on the display.
In parallel, Apple decides to include feedback for the virtual keyboard buttons iOS-devices. The company planned to solve this problem long before the presentation of tablets iPad. The patent, dated the year 2009, refers to the fact that by "articulating a basis" the surface of the screen to create similar physical keyboard tabs, or point, which is supposed to use the programmable magnets with alternating polarity and liquid Ferro-magnets that can change shape under the influence of a magnetic field .
If you find the moment of contact of a finger and touch screen, this mechanism moves the liquid Ferro-magnets under the finger, resulting in some of the surface takes a convex shape. When the user is typing, the screen becomes smooth again.
