### WEBINAR

# Can tactile sensing help create better haptics experiences?

Touch is fundamental to everyday life and today, there isn’t a way to characterize what we hold, pick up, and move in a meaningful way.

To unlock the power of tactile intelligence, we must digitize what only human hands can sense and do, while adding a layer of artificial intelligence to allow machines to understand and interact with the world.

Haptic technology leaders seek to understand all facets of human sense of touch and develop products that mimic the feel of natural materials and natural interactions, ultimately allowing them to create a true-to-life haptics experience. 

Listen to Francois Jeanneau, CEO of *Novasentis at KEMET Electronics Corporation,***Rebecca Friesen***, Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M,* and **Savannah Niles**, Director of Product Management and Design at *Magnopus*, as they discuss how tactile sensing technology can help generate better haptics experiences. 

 During this webinar, you will gain an insight into: 

- What is touch and why is it important?
- How can human touch and feel add value to product design?
- What is the current & future landscape of haptics technology?
- How can tactile sensing accelerate the development of haptics technology?
