  UPDATE: Tanvas assets were sold to Third Avenue Associates in the fall of 2022. Tanvas is redefining touch by enabling you to feel what you see on any touchscreen. Despite advances in graphics, sound and vibration, today’s touchscreen is still just a lifeless window to the digital world. TanvasTouch surface haptics add a new dimension of interaction that goes beyond the buzz of vibration and brings unlimited textures and feelings to flat, physical surfaces. TanvasTouch can be built into any touch-enabled product across a wide range of applications including automotive, retail, consumer electronics, visually impaired and custom displays. The combination of sensing and haptics on the same layer and its solid-state design make TanvasTouch technology unlike anything on the market today. Show less
