CapTIvate technology offers a great deal of versatility to designers to develop differentiated user interfaces. In addition to traditional glass and plastic overlays, CapTIvate can work with metal overlays allowing for seamless integration with stainless steel and metal panels. CapTIvate touch technology also allows for multi-touch on all buttons. Additionally, CapTIvate technology can be used to create any combination of buttons, sliders and wheels. For example, using mutual capacitance measurement, a panel of 64 buttons can be created with just 16 IOs. Using self-capacitance, engineers can develop sliders with 0.0254 cm accuracy. Numerous combinations of self and mutual capacitance are possible on the same design. CapTIvate technology can also be used to create proximity and 3D gesture applications allowing further flexibility and innovative HMI designs.
