Qualcomm it is not new to image readers that are usually activated with the fingers. In general, the field of sensors and microprocessors is yours. In this regard, we recall the new ultrasonic image reader for unlocking the smartphone, that is 3D Sonic Sensor Gen 2. This will bring a breath of fresh air to the image sensor landscape, and the company also sets out to also improve the haptic feedback of Android devices. Like? With the partnership just announced with Lofelt. Who is this company and how does it intend to work with the microprocessor giant?
Qualcomm enters into partnership with Lofelt, a leading company in the field of tactile feedback on mobile devices: here's how they will revolutionize the market
Before we see what they will do Qualcomm e Lofelt together, you need to have a minimum of knowledge about the company. It is a group of developers who have always been committed to the tactile feedback. This means that they are the ones who study how a device must respond to our touch with our fingers. The company is based in Berlin and from today it has entered into cooperation with the US microprocessor giant to take the user experience to the next level. Together with the Android 12 project to improve haptic feedback thanks to the video / audio interface, this partnership falls short.
From official press release we read that the company will provide:
universal haptic software framework that runs natively on the Snapdragon mobile platform in order to enhance Android phones with next-generation haptics for mobile games and other immersive experiences
One of the points on which Lofelt dwells in the press release is that relating to touch experience gap between iOS and Android. It is no secret that the user experience that Apple gives is among the best ever. After all, the expense is worth the company, beyond the criticisms that a user can make against the brand with the bitten apple. And precisely in this context, Lofelt announces that the partnership with Qualcomm will narrow the gap between tactile experiences that exists between the two platforms.
In the future, the company's haptic framework will also allow android developers to provide enhanced tactile feel on device accessories, such as supported controllers, without the need to manage device-specific APIs.
