New Haptic Technology Improves Communication With Digital Interfaces
The sense of touch transcends culture and communication barriers to bring people closer together. As our world becomes more mobile and remote, people are feeling quite literally “out-of-touch” with reality. New developments in the field of haptics are looking to transform how we communicate via touch within increasingly digital environments. According to IDTechEx, the Haptics […]

How to Decode IP Ratings
Ingress Protection (IP) Ratings were established in 1976 by the International Electromechanical Commission (IEC) in order to standardize the level of protection an electrical enclosure provides against the ingress of dust and water. Before IP ratings, manufacturers of components and devices would use vague language such as “water-resistant” or “dust-proof” – without a defined standard, […]
