Nanoport launched a new company, TITAN Haptics, as the first technology to graduate from the Nanoport R&D Lab. TITAN Haptics will build on the advantages of patented Linear Magnetic Ram (LMR) technology in an all-new line of smartphone haptic motors that come bundled with the industry’s first licensed IP portfolio from Immersion.
TITAN Haptics’ miniature motors enjoy the features and benefits of LMR motor technology in a portable form factor ideal for smartphones, wearables and handheld game consoles. Compared to other haptic motors, LMRs provide 20x the dynamic range and 2x the reliability at competitive price points.
“Like HD for audio and video, it’s time for touch to get an HD upgrade,” says Tim Szeto, founder of TITAN Haptics. “LMR motors enable elevated experiences in gaming, music, augmented reality, and virtual buttons on smartphones and other exciting upcoming products.”
As an industry first, TITAN will also offer comprehensive IP bundling with its haptic motors. A groundbreaking product developed over 3 years with haptic technology company Immersion, TITAN Haptics’ licensed motor products will streamline the process of introducing advanced haptic capabilities in smartphones and wearable devices.
“The Linear Magnetic Ram technology developed by TITAN Haptics represents a new paradigm in high-definition haptic feedback and we look forward to supporting TITAN Haptics’ successful application of this technology to mobile devices,” said Chris Ullrich, CTO, Immersion.
Complementary to its motor offerings, TITAN Haptics provides firmware, software, APIs and blueprint reference designs for customers. TITAN holds leadership positions as a member of industry groups like HIF (Haptics Industry Forum) for the development of industry standards and unified protocols.
