KDDI haptic smartphone prototype promises as much as seven layers of touch, only shows off two

Ah, another possibly vaporous, yet intriguing addition to a long line of haptic patents and prototypes . Today’s offering: a KDDI smartphone mockup (utilizing Kyocera display technology) promising to render sensation through multiple layers of applied touchscreen pressure. Imagine depressing a camera shutter on a touchscreen, and you have got the belief. KDDI only had a screen sporting two haptic layers readily available after they demoed the prototype at Wireless Japan this week, but Kyocera reportedly told Akihabara News that the technology is able to as much as seven layers of tantalizing touch. Neat. Maybe we’ll get a number of authentic haptic touchscreens that you can buy and get rid of each of the vibrational fakery we’ve been seeing.
