Seamless controls, built into every surface.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Nanomade sensors bring touch and force sensing to wood, leather, fabric or metal trims, from the steering wheel to the center console. Fewer buttons, cleaner interiors, and intuitive controls that drivers can use without taking their eyes off the road.<\/p>\n\n\n

Decorative & premium surfaces.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Intentional, eyes-free activation.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Drivers need to operate controls by feel, with a clear distinction between a deliberate press and simple contact, and feedback that confirms each action.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Real-use conditions.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Interfaces must remain responsive with gloves, humidity and across the automotive temperature range.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Durability & series integration.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

HMI performance must be repeatable over the vehicle\u2019s lifetime, with quality control and an industrial path compatible with series production.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

01 \u2014 Window controls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Subtle 3D shapes let drivers find each control by feel, without looking away from the road. A light touch selects the window, a firm press moves it.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

02 \u2014 Interactive wood dashboard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Natural wood becomes a fully functional control panel. Nanomade sensors detect touch and pressure through the veneer, while light and haptic feedback reveal and confirm each function only when it is needed.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

03 \u2014 Steering wheel controls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Keep hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Force confirmation filters out accidental activations during steering, and progressive haptic feedback lets drivers operate controls by feel alone.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
