Haptic hollow touch interface: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Mechanical complexity in vehicle interiors increases assembly costs and failure rates. This architecture replaces moving parts with integrated hollow-core electronic sensing to improve durability and design flexibility.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Haptic hollow touch interface?

Unintentional input activation

(32)evidences

Visual demand for secondary vehicle controls increases cognitive load and safety risks. Tactile confirmation allows eyes-on-road operation.

Driver distraction and cognitive load

(23)evidences

Traditional physical interfaces require visual confirmation and precise manual targeting, which diverts attention from the road. Reducing the need for tactile searching or complex menu navigation minimizes eyes-off-road time.

Tactile feedback occlusion

(15)evidences

Visual interfaces in vehicles require excessive driver attention and lack physical feedback. Providing non-visual confirmation reduces cognitive load and prevents input errors during operation.
