Smartphones
AMI currently has development projects with leading suppliers to integrate Reflex technology into touch screen smartphones. Users are drawn to the added dimension of realistic touch response that Reflex enables. Existing applications and games come to life where users can experience the feeling of feedback from interaction with the device from button clicks to virtual detents to feeling actual gaming experiences such as gunshots and dice rolling. We offer assistance with the key integration details to produce a small, cost effective handset with compelling haptics effects.

PC Mice and Gaming Controllers
PC Mice, game controllers, remote controls and other peripherals are being enhanced with Reflex. The rumble packs that are common in most gaming devices today have so much latency that the effect is disconnected from the action and the sensations created are limited and one dimensional. The real-time response of Reflex overcomes these limitations and adds realistic effects to any game or application.

Touchscreens and other U/I
Touchscreens are increasingly used in desktop phones, laptop computers, casino gaming machines, POS kiosks, industrial controls and more. User feedback is consistent; the experience is incomplete and impersonal. The addition of tactile feedback to the visual and audio features adds a new dimension to products. AMI works with customers to integrate standard actuator components into application specific solutions.
