Tactus Technology

Tactus Technology created a new type of overlay hardware that externally raises the flat keyboard and gaming controls on the touch screen mobile devices to have a virtual hands-on experience. The thin semi-elastic polymer glass surface fills up with this clear micro fluid to produce real buttons to enhance the gaming and typing experience.  The fluid within the raised keypad adjusts to the amount of pressure applied to the touchscreen buttons. So, the keys could feel extremely soft or hard depending on the applied pressure. Notably, the enhanced screen can morph down flat once the screen is no longer needed. Tactus Technology hopes in the next few years to have this morph technology embedded within the smartphones and tablets. Tactus Technology created the raised surface to offer better control and feel to the surface of the mobile devices. The cost of the Phorm keyboard with a screen protector is $149.99 on Amazon.
