The interaction between humans and technology is evolving rapidly – becoming increasingly touchless, more robust and more flexible. Optical Force Sensing (OFS) enables fully sealed surfaces that still respond to proximity, touch and pressure, giving interfaces a digital sense of touch. This creates new possibilities for both buttonless designs or enhancing buttons and switches with increased durability and differentiated interaction concepts including interior applications in automotives. With the AS7100 Optical Force Sensor, ams OSRAM now offers its first fully inte…
