ams OSRAM Optical Force Sensing Solutions

Multi-modal control for next-generation interfaces

Optical force sensing transforms nearly any surface into an intelligent interaction zone. With proximity, touch, and pressure detection in a single interface, designers can create sleek ShyTech-style surfaces that illuminate only when needed and respond even through wet, gloved, or thick materials.

This technology enables intuitive, hygienic, and space-saving controls for automotive, industrial, and consumer systems.

Evaluation Kit

AS7150-SFH 7061_EVM_KT

The AS7150 & SFH 7061 EvalKit is designed to evaluate force touch and proximity use cases. The board is constructed in a way that different touch surfaces can be inserted and evaluated. It provides flexibility to test different material types, thicknesses and reflectivities. Further, the distance between sensor board and touch surface can be varied.
