Keyboard with tactile feedback on smartphone touch screen

Published: 29 May 2018 Publication History

Abstract

Pressing buttons on a smartphone touch screen is difficult if you are not looking at the screen. We developed a numerical keyboard that provides a tactile feedback using phone short vibrations. The feedback is provided both when the user swipes the keyboard and when he presses keys. We describe how we implemented it on iPhone7, using the iPhone 3Dtouch capability and the UIFeedbackGenerator.
