Boréas HapticStudio SDK Empowers Designers to Create Haptic Effects in Consumer Electronics

Unlike older non-piezo technologies that restrict the designer’s ability to customize users’ tactile experiences, Boréas HapticStudio frees designers to adjust vibration, response speed, and touch intensity.

It also registers changes immediately, allowing designers to test drive different haptic effects before integrating them on end-user devices, such as smartphones, wearables, and video game controllers.

Witekio Launches “The Embedded Kit” Company with a Linux product portfolio

The Embedded Kit is the All-in-One toolkit device-makers need to build, connect, test, and secure any custom embedded Linux system.

These software products have been designed specifically for device makers with the sole aim of streamlining the entire process of embedded development and maintenance from hardware integration to embedded Linux software while providing full ownership.

Microchip's New 32-Bit MCU Features an Embedded Hardware Security Module to Safeguard Industrial and Consumer Applications

The new family of PIC32CZ CA devices includes the PIC32CZ CA90 with a HSM or the PIC32CZ CA80 without the integrated HSM. The HSM in the PIC32CZ CA90 is a monolithic solution that provides advanced security for industrial and consumer applications.

The HSM operates as a secure subsystem with a separate MCU on board that runs the firmware and security features including hardware secure boot, key storage, cryptographic acceleration, true random number generator and more.

Feel the Future: Haptic Effects and MCUs in Embedded Systems

In the realm of technology, we often find ourselves chasing the next innovation, the brighter display, the faster processor. But what about touch? Enter haptic effects and microcontrollers (MCUs), the dynamic duo that's bringing touch to the forefront of embedded systems.

Haptic Effects: Where Touch Meets Tech

Haptic technology bridges the tactile and the digital — it's the art of turning flat screens into textured surfaces, creating sensations where there were none. Haptic wizardry is technology speaking to you in a language you can feel. In embedded systems, haptic effects have opened doors to new dimensions of interaction.

MCUs: The Brains Behind the Buzz

MCUs handle the intricate dance of haptic feedback, processing real-time data from sensors and touch input, interpreting gestures, and translating them into palpable experiences. The MCU takes us beyond mere interaction into the realm of immersion.

Together, haptic effects and MCUs are crafting a future where technology engages our sense of touch. They're turning sterile interfaces into dynamic canvases, infusing tactile information into our digital world.
