Pitt innovators were issued 9 U.S. patents in December 2023.
Featured Patent: 11,836,319: “Touch-Sensing Via Excitation of a Surface with a Waveform”
Though widely used, touchscreens do not scale easily to large surfaces, irregular shapes, or arbitrary surface materials.Pitt innovators have developed a system that employs a resonant touch interface, a single mechanical exciter and single mechanical sensor, and a simple trained machine learning classifier to create many new types of versatile, adaptable, dynamic touch interfaces. This system can cheaply and easily make large displays into pressure-sensitive surfaces and enables the use of irregular shaped or lightweight, weatherproof or damage-resistant materials into touch interfaces.
