The official reception ceremony for new members of the French Academy of Sciences took place on Tuesday, October 12, 2021. Among them was Vincent Hayward, CSO and co-founder of Actronika, elected in 2019 for his pioneering work in haptics. Relive with us this exceptional moment, rewarding his remarkable career.

In our day-to-day life we are interacting a lot with machines through various interfaces, which are mostly relying on our vision or hearing to provide us sensory feedback. Touch is often put aside, while it is the sense we are trusting the most. Through haptics interfaces, based on the science of touch, we can now address this growing need of tactile feedback in HMI. However, there is still a limit: it is impossible to feel different sensations simultaneously on the same surface… Until now!

With its new console, Sony has taken the lead in terms of gaming experience thanks to the haptic technologies integrated into its controller. We decided to do a deep-dive analysis of the DualSense controller haptics within the Playstation 5 ecosystem. This article focus on a teardown of the controller and an analysis of the tactile technologies integrated in.

For several years now, Actronika has been collaborating with Novares on automotive projects for a better driving experience through haptics. We interviewed François Bollier, Product Innovation Leader at Novares Group, to explain Novares' activity, its collaboration with Actronika and the interest of haptics for the automotive industry.

Actronika is looking for an intern in C# development for Unity3D (5-6 months) to contribute to the software development of Actronika’s product.

Actronika will launch its own haptic vest Skinetic, capable of reproducing immersive sensations for virtual and augmented reality experiences.

To fuel the growth of Actronika’s commercial department, Actronika is looking for an intern in business development (4-6 months) to contribute to the commercial development of the company and the integration of the sense of touch in new products.

Actronika is looking for an intern in communication & marketing to promote and support the launch of a new product. The intern will be heavily involved in the product brand management and the preparation of the crowdfunding campaign.

For the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we decided to put Claire Richards, PhD student at Actronika, in the spotlight. From art with her degree in design to science with her research on bone conduction, discover the inspiring experience of a young woman seeking to break down the barriers to scientific research.
