Motorola (NYSE: MOT test) announced that its VC branch, Motorola Ventures, made an investment in Sensitive Object, a leader in multi-touching anywhere chopine and cancel drug user interface (NUI).
Here’s what we know about Sensitive Object (from the press release):
The troupe was created in October 2003 with an innovative and patent of invention-protected engineering capable of “tactilizing” any airfoil. This unique software system technology leverages acoustics to analyze auditory sensation waves departing from the point of a touching to precisely and cost-effectively transform any merchandise into a touch gimmick. Sensitive Object’s ReverSys software system tin be deployed in any merchandise benefiting from “touching-based” drug user interfaces including touch screen and touching controller in various markets such as mobile devices.
Sensitive Object’s Anywhere MultiTouch chopine extends tactilization to any surface of a gimmick allowing for virtual controls and next multiplication drug user-interfaces. As touch and haptics have become criterion fundamental interaction expectations for personal computing and handheld devices, Sensitive Object demonstrates that acoustic (vs. resistive, capacitive, and optical) tactilization is the state of the artistic creation in terms of both execution and monetary value, and its platform volition set a new standard for full 3D gimmick tactilization.
Aside from the functionary quotation that includes “words of excitement” from both sides, we’ve no clew what exactly Motorola plans to do with the engineering acquired. We do, however, hope whatever they do with it will reflect (positively, of course of action) in their French telephone portfolio…
