Imagine adjusting the camera zoom of smart glasses and feeling the zoom levels through instant crisp tactile cues, rather than relying solely on vision. The Haptic Slider Zoom demo uses TDK’s piezo technology to create crisp, highly responsive haptic feedback in a compact form factor. The result is a natural and interactive user experience; a great example of how advanced haptics can make future smart glasses smarter, safer, and more fun to use.

TDK MEMS sensors and software are the critical bridge between Physical AI and the real world. MEMS and TMR sensing technologies, together with advanced sensor fusion software, enable precise motion tracking, orientation, and immersive user experiences in next-generation wearables.

With tactile feedback, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) becomes more immersive by addressing other sensory experiences. TDK’s multilayer piezo ceramic PowerHap actuators can render surface textures crisply, as demonstrated impressively by WEART’s TouchDIVER glove.

In wearable devices where audio is the main interface for artificial intelligence – like AI pins or AI glasses – TDK MEMS microphones provide the high sound fidelity and noise suppression algorithms required to enable Audio AI applications, including a unique Acoustic Activity Detect feature that allows AI processors to operate at ultra-low power.
