  • These two layers are, in turn, applied to a capacitive-based touch sensitive layer.
  • Below this layer rests another layer fitted with LED lights, which can produce strong enough lights to be visible through the previous layer, depending on the material of which said layer is made out of (this layer is optional).
  • the fifth and final layer is composed of vibrotactile actuators, which can produce vibrations with enough frequency and amplitude for them to be felt by users while interacting with the top-most layer.
  • Haptic feedback in devices and surfaces has commonly been achieved through vibrotactile stimuli, generated from mechanical actuators (e.g., EP3582074A1). More recently, haptic technologies have emerged that make use of other actuation types, such as electro vibration, to generate other types of tactile feedback beyond just vibrations (e.g., US10768749B2).
  • the technology for creating richer display and surface interactions is available, by delivering different haptic feedback sensations, such as different texture sensations or different vibrations, to users while they interact with the display surface with their fingers.

  • writing from a comfortable position on a virtual keyboard presented on the center stack display is difficult to achieve, since it requires passenger to bend forward on their seat, to stretch their arm(s), or both at the same time, which quickly becomes uncomfortable to maintain. Additionally, interactions with such virtual keyboards do not normally transmit any haptic feedback to passenger, making the writing process less intuitive.
  • level 5 of autonomous vehicles i.e., in full automation
  • concerns regarding driver distraction are no longer present, as the task of driving the vehicle is taken up by the vehicle itself, and the driver becomes just another passenger in the vehicle. Therefore, more control and interface elements can be added to each seat's armrest, so that passengers can access these controls from a comfortable position of their choosing, and without the interaction with said controls compromising their performance while driving the vehicle, as could occur if this was implemented on non- autonomous vehicles due to the increase of interactable elements possibly distracting the driver while trying to interact with them.
  • said elements no longer need to be simple nobs, switches or on/off buttons, but instead can be more complex and useful controls and interfaces.
