TG0 Electronic Sensors with Tactile Material
TG0 electronic sensors with tactile material create 3D controls. The platform technology uses one injection moulded material to replace all capacitive and resistive sensors needed in a control interface. Using one material to sense human touch without any electronic assemblies.
It is designed to sense where and how it touched. The soft material can provide high-definition analogue pressure signals which can be moulded to any 3D shape to facilitate physical interaction.
From a design perspective, TG0’s material opens up freedom not only in terms of the surface shape but also in enabling meaningful and unique ways of product interaction. Whenever a human or an object touches our material surface, a signal is generated. Using machine learning algorithms signal can be analysed to understand a certain touch that corresponds to a certain output. That output can be used to control technology or be a source of other data for use with applications. Deformation, pressure, location and so forth.
It’s a unique approach transforming your interior surface design into smart, 3D- intuitive controls with a uniform injection-moulded polymer while keeping current supply chain & manufacturing technologies. Applicable materials to include hard plastics such as ABS, PC and soft plastics such as TPU, TPE and even silicone rubber or foam. You can build surfaces with different colors, finishes and lighting based on OE Want material best suited for application.

TG0 is working on the next generation of pressure sensing surfaces. They develop a pressure sensitive seating solution that converts a simple, safe and economical intelligent material into a pressure mapping sensor with which can better understand driver/passenger behaviour to provide better services, optimize the driving experience, improve comfort and optimise the maintenance cycles. The TG0 technology expands the scope of possibilities of how touch, pressure and gesture are being applied in design and other real-world scenarios. Some of the most impactful industries can be automotive, digital interfaces, AR, sports and health.
In Automotive, Window controls, door handles, steering wheels or central consoles all benefit greatly from our touch sensing technology. The design freedom our material offers lends itself to creating a unique and meaningful interactions between car and driver.
