Touch That Speaks
At Boréas we’re transforming how drivers engage with their vehicles by replacing traditional mechanical buttons with responsive haptic touch controls on the steering wheel. Our BOS1921-Q1 delivers precise, customizable feedback for safer and more intuitive interaction. While you may have experienced haptics in your steering wheel before, the current generation of LRA-based solutions lack response speed and make interactions feel sluggish. LRAs are also limited to a narrow frequency range and cannot offer unique branding with customizable waveforms. Mechanical switches are also limited in this regard and cannot integrate seamlessly with interior surfaces. By adopting a solid-state design with Boréas and piezo haptics, vehicle manufacturers can deliver superior durability and sleek interior design.
Haptic Precision at Your Fingertips
BOS1921-Q1 delivers the third generation of haptic feedback to modern vehicles with ultra-low latency (<5mS), high-definition haptics and fully customizable profiles for enhanced driver experience and safety. The integration of force sensing also enables multi-function control. For example, a single solid-state button can be used for multiple infotainment menu controls. A small, compact footprint is enabled by our QFN package with wettable flanks for industry-standard reliability. The BOS1921-Q1 is designed to meet the rigorous demands of automotive environments, ensuring long-lasting performance and consistent haptic feedback even under harsh conditions.
