Korea is becoming the main hub for all technological advancements. It’s no wonder that this country is very focused on industrial design and the latest in consumer technology. Leading manufacturer, CTT-Net, or Computer Telephones Technology, comes out with a state-of-the-art consumer device that has received global acclaim.
Portable Navigation Devices are now commonly found in vehicles. Apart from serving as a main switchboard for all your car add-ons and controls, it also often holds a virtual map for easily finding directions. Drivers are well-aware that it’s not easy to maneuver this main panel and drive at the same time. CTT-Net answers this dilemma with a gadget that boasts of haptic technology. Powered by Immersion’s TouchSense technology, the touchscreen display on the CSN-7040 gives tactile feedback to its users. This is very helpful when maneuvering through busy streets, when the confirmation pings and clicks are inaudible. Tactile feedback ensures the user that a command has been executed, and the driver won’t even have to take his eyes off the road.
The CSN-7040 stands out in the market due to this haptics integration. It makes navigation so much more convenient, and also easier to use. This device will definitely increase on-road productivity, apart from possibly eliminating unnecessary road accidents.

Already with a prototype, the Finnish mobile phone manufacturer is said to be perfecting their force feedback technology. Touch-screen technology is already something they’ve incorporated in some of their cellphone models. But now they’re finding ways to make sure the screen touches back. “Haptikos” will be a wide-screen PDA smartphone that will provide tactile feedback at every screen interaction. This is definitely something to look forward to for our next generation of consumer devices.
