InputDynamics, with its new acoustic user interface called TouchDevice™, addresses the need for users to better interact with mid-tier mobile handsets not yet featuring a touchscreen due to cost considerations. Better handset usability in the mid-tier market is also of great interest to mobile telecommunications companies because ultimately it increases demand for additional web-based services.

The success of the iPhone, proved the desire at the high end of the market for a better user interface. This trend towards better ways of navigating menus and interacting with multimedia applications is now spreading down to mid-tier handsets, with touchscreen functionality increasingly becoming a ‘must have’ in this all important market segment.

TouchDevice™ enables handset manufacturers to provide touchscreen functionality found in high-end devices without increasing the BoM costs. Our solution is 100% software driven and offers touchscreen capability at a significantly lower cost than existing options. Our main technology competitors are the providers of conventional resistive and capacitive touch screens.

With nearly 3 billion users worldwide, the mobile phone has become the most personal and ubiquitous communications device. Of the total 1.2 billion handsets sold yearly worldwide, the mid-tier addressable market for us is in the region of 800 million handsets which we will target through non-exclusive licensing agreements with the handset manufacturers (typically, up to 90% of the embedded technology is licensed-in).
