Touch That Speaks
Transform smart metal cards into dynamic haptic interfaces with Boréas haptic drivers. Our technology embeds ultra-thin piezo actuators within cards while maintaining IEC7810 form factor. By delivering customizable vibration patterns, cards can express unique brand identities. Paired with fingerprint authentication, the next generation of smart card will provide tactile feedback to confirm user verification, eliminate accidental activations and enhance security for visually impaired. Haptic feedback is ideal for communicating successful transactions and notifying users to take immediate action; ensuring seamless and intuitive user experience.
The Challenge We're Solving
Traditional smart cards, from payment and access control to loyalty and transit, lack tactile feedback and leave users uncertain and dependent on visual or audio signals. Advanced security features like fingerprint readers provide protection but lack intuitive confirmation that authentication was successful. While other haptic solutions may exist, only Boréas can deliver precise, powerful feedback within the strict ID-1 card thickness requirement. Our solution bridges these gaps, enabling smart card manufacturers to enhance user experiences, communicate successful interactions, and differentiate their products—all while maintaining industry standards and existing manufacturing processes.
Ultra-Thin Integration
Our haptic solution integrates seamlessly within the IEC 7810 standard 0.76mm card thickness, making it the only viable option for adding tactile feedback while maintaining compatibility with existing payment infrastructure and manufacturing processes.
Brand-Defining Touch
Transform smart cards into powerful brand ambassadors through customized haptic signatures. Each interaction becomes an opportunity to reinforce brand identity with distinctive vibration patterns that set your card apart in a crowded market.
Enhanced Security Feedback
Deliver intuitive tactile confirmation for fingerprint authentication and successful transactions, eliminating user uncertainty and reducing transaction errors through clear physical feedback that works even in noisy environments.
Recommended Part
For piezo haptic smart cards, we recommend the Boréas Technologies BOS1931. This single-chip driver delivers high-voltage, low-power performance with advanced features like energy recovery, differential output, and waveform synthesis. Ideal for premium payment cards, the BOS1931 delivers sophisticated haptic feedback while ensuring efficient power use and easy integration into thin card form factors. Its capabilities enable card manufacturers to create responsive payment cards that enhance the overall user experience in modern financial technology.
