In Summary

HoverSense is more than a vision for the future, it’s the missing part that is vital to make upcoming Foldable, Flexible, Rollable, and Dual-Screen devices productive, easy to use, and user friendly! HS will also improve all Phones, Tablets, and Wearables…

Dual-Screen laptops won’t be mainstream until they’ll have a Hover & Tactile Feedback built into their screens, to make it more intuitive to type, just like a real keyboard. In therms of UX and usability, touch devices are not comfortable for long typing tasks.

Multi-touch is perhaps the greatest innovation in the history of human-computer interaction (after keyboard and mouse). They’ve led us to a new world of Natural HCIs, GUIs, and spatial UX that we enjoy today. But, let’s face it – there’s no reason to stop there!

I had this revolutionary idea back in 2014, but waited for the right timing in order to start the patent application and to turn HS from idea into a reality. For more information, visit HoverSense website.
