Haptix Releases Tactile Studio: A Haptics Plugin for Physical Prototyping Workflows

Design · 3 min read

Tactile Studio converts animation timelines and interaction states into waveform sequences that drive common linear resonant actuators and voice-coil motors. Designers can preview haptic effects in-situ using companion hardware or simulated playback layered over CAD assemblies.

The plugin supports mapping gestures to patterns, amplitude envelopes, and latency budgets, helping teams balance feel with power constraints. Haptix also includes analytics that quantify perceived intensity and distinguishability across device surfaces.

Target markets include wearables, automotive haptics, and consumer electronics. Haptix is offering Tactile Studio with both a commercial plugin and an SDK for hardware partners to integrate deeper into firmware toolchains.
