Summary

  • Customer Need / Challenge

    Smartwatches offer users a blend of convenience and innovation. Interaction forces for the user must be precise as different types of tasks are performed such as pressing, scrolling, and swiping. A force test is needed during the development stage of smartwatches, verifying and validating its interaction design for users.

  • Interface Solution

    Interface’s 6ADF45 Series 6-Axis DIN Flange Load Cell  is adept at measuring and capturing forces by the user’s fingers across multiple axes. Engineers will be able to determine and change sensitivity settings based on force results. Results are fed to the BX8-HD44 BlueDAQ Series Data Acquisition System with supplied BlueDAQ software and to the connected laptop where it is displayed with included BlueDAQ software.

  • Results

    Interface’s 6-Axis load cell successfully measured and captured the six axes during pressing, scrolling, and swiping tests during the smartwatch development stage.

Materials


  • 6ADF45 Series 6-Axis DIN Flange Load Cell

  • BX8-HD44 BlueDAQ Series Data Acquisition System with supplied BlueDAQ software

  • Smartwatch undergoing force test

  • Customer’s computer or laptop

How it Works


  1. The smartwatch is placed on top of the 6ADF45 Series 6-Axis DIN Flange Load Cell. Different types of force tests are conducted such as pressing, swiping, and scrolling.

  2. The 6ADF45 Series 6-Axis DIN Flange Load Cell  captures the interaction forces across six axes.

  3. Data is captured and recorded through the BX8-HD44 BlueDAQ Series Data Acquisition System with supplied BlueDAQ software. Results are displayed when connected to the customer’s computer.
