InPlane Sensing for Modern Vehicles

UltraSense InPlane Sensing replaces mechanical buttons with easy-to-implement, robust and reliable technology – improving the touch experience while minimizing the enclosure’s volume, weight, plastic content, and assembly complexity.

A slim form factor = a more sleek design

Reduced weight = longer drive times per charge

No mechanical parts = greater reliability

Fewer part numbers = reduced complexity

See the Difference: Traditional vs. UltraSense InPlane Sensing

While traditional Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) are bulky and complex, UltraSense InPlane Sensing is the thinnest HMI, enabling new design possibilities, greater simplicity for OEMs, and longer driving range.
