Smartphone rear touchpad.
Smartphone users are constantly seeking enhanced functionality and convenience without compromising on sleek design or ease of use.
The challenge
Nanomade’s technology opens new possibilities for smartphone interaction by extending touch and pressure controls beyond the front screen. By embedding sensing directly into the sides or back of the device, smartphones can offer more ergonomic, intuitive, and responsive controls for gaming, multitasking, and high-performance use cases. This approach enhances the user experience without adding bulky mechanical buttons, while preserving sleek device design and enabling new interaction zones.
