“GlideSense with Boréas’ Piezo Haptic Trackpad technology gives PC manufacturers the best of both worlds,” said Brian Monson, president, Cirque. In addition to contributing its high-definition piezo haptic driver chip, the BOS1901, to the new module, Boréas also designed the module’s entire haptic layer to improve performance and manufacturability. “In addition to supporting the user-adjustable click-force sensing built into Windows 11, Boréas piezo haptics offers so much more-making PC trackpads competitive with Apple’s Force Touch trackpads for the first time.”

“Microsoft’s move to support haptic trackpads in Windows 11 reflects a growing shift away from older mechanical-touch trackpads toward newer, thinner haptic-touch trackpads that offer users more satisfying sensory experiences in PC notebooks and laptops,” said Simon Chaput, founder and CEO, Boréas. PC notebook and laptop manufacturers can now easily access the many benefits of piezoelectric haptic architectures-which include miniature size, light weight, ultra-low power, and customizable feature sets-in their Windows 11 notebooks and laptops. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Boréas Technologies, a pioneer in ultra-low-power high definition (HD) piezo haptic semiconductors, and Cirque Corporation, a global leader in touch-interface technologies, today unveiled GlideSense ™ with Boréas’ Piezo Haptic Trackpad technology, the first trackpad module that helps PC manufacturers meet rising demand for richer, more responsive tactile experiences in trackpads that are slim, light and cost-efficient.įeaturing Boréas’ Piezo Haptic Trackpad technology-which was recently named a CES 2022 Innovation Award Honoree-GlideSense is also the first trackpad module to take advantage of Microsoft’s operating systems-level support for haptic trackpads in Windows 11 machines.
