Touch-Sensitive Phone Cases

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Sensus iPhone Case Has Touch Controls on the Back and Sides

— October 14, 2012 — Tech
The Sensus iPhone Case may seem like just another iPhone case on first look, but this case is packing some technological surprises that make it worth a deeper inspection. The case features touch-sensitive surfaces on both the back and the sides.

The purpose is to make it easier for gamers to play on their iPhone by removing the need to actually touch the screen while they are playing, like the PS Vita. Another use is to avoid smudging your screen when reading, or otherwise using your iPhone. To make it work, the Sensus iPhone Case has its own processor. Hypothetically, this should reduce the burden on the iPhone's processor making it go a bit faster.

The one caveat: in order for this product to be successful, developers have to embrace it by programming apps to use the technology.
Trend Themes
1. Touch-sensitive Surfaces - The development of touch-sensitive surfaces on phone cases presents disruptive innovation opportunities for enhancing user experience and expanding gaming capabilities.
2. Gaming Accessories - The introduction of touch-sensitive phone cases opens up opportunities for the gaming accessories industry to create innovative products that enhance gameplay on mobile devices.
3. Processor Integration - The integration of processors in phone cases paves the way for disruptive innovations in improving device performance and reducing the burden on the phone's processor.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile Accessories - The mobile accessories industry can leverage touch-sensitive phone cases to offer consumers enhanced functionality and a unique user experience while protecting their devices.
2. Gaming Technology - The gaming technology industry has the potential to capitalize on touch-sensitive phone cases to develop new gaming experiences and accessories that revolutionize mobile gaming.
3. Smartphone Manufacturing - The smartphone manufacturing industry can benefit from incorporating touch-sensitive features into their phone cases, providing users with innovative options and staying ahead of the competition.
