Rugged Displays for Gloved Hands and Sealed Enclosures
Through armor glass, in heavy gloves
HoverTap™ Rugged senses touch through up to 20mm of cover material and air gap combined, where standard projected capacitive tops out around 2 to 6mm. It works in heavy tactical gloves with no thickness limit, and reads in-air gestures where contact is impractical.
Selected for testing by DRDC
HoverTap™ Rugged has been selected for testing by Defence Research and Development Canada.

How Deployment Works
1
You identify the equipment that has to work through a barrier: armor glass, a sealed enclosure, or heavy gloves.

We configure the module to your environment. Two options:
The HoverTap™ sensor alone, integrated into your existing display.
The complete assembly, with LCD, controller, firmware and an enclosure specified to your environmental requirements.
