The problem
The array of switches, buttons, wheels and controls that
help us to interact with electronics all rely on bulky and complex networks of
sensors that can cost a lot to create.
The solution
TG0 has developed a new technology for making interactive 3D
controls that are ergonomic, intuitive and engaging. Its solutions replace
complicated networks of electronic sensors with one uniform, flexible,
touch-sensitive material.
Driven by artificial intelligence algorithms and advanced
signal processing, TG0’s platform technology can accurately detect variations
in touch across a single flexible surface. This allows its material to easily
sense pressure, location, speed, direction and movement allowing users to
engage in more intuitive ways.
As Co-Founder, Ming leads research and development for the
technology’s hardware. TG0’s seamless, interactive surfaces can be used in a
range of applications including tactile gaming controls, car dashboard controls
and ergonomic computer peripherals such as keyboards, amongst many others.
TG0 is also exploring how its technology can be used to make
interactive products that are more accessible for the visually impaired.
Since its launch in 2016, TG0 has worked with high profile
brands and manufacturers in the consumer and automotive sector and built a
patent portfolio with more than ten international patent entries to date. A
rapidly growing team is helping the company to expand and target a range of
industries including sensor-embedded industrial robots, wearables, gadgets and
underwater electronics.
