New Touch Sensor Technology

Yenra: Touch sensor technology from TRW may transform human-machine interfaces for control systems. The company is working with two major vehicle manufacturers to bring the technology to market in 2007.
The technology uses a control surface, much like that of a laptop computer, in place of mechanical switches. The technology replaces traditional mechanical control functions from simple on and off switches, through larger input devices such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
Also developed is a multifunction control module for interface with driver information and communication systems. A key feature is the capability for handwriting recognition, which enables fast and intuitive operation of mobile phones and navigation systems.
