Abstract: One variation for a seamless touch sensor includes: a substrate, a baseplate, a haptic actuator, a cover layer, and a controller. The substrate includes: a top layer including a set of drive and sense electrode pairs; and a bottom layer including an array of force sensors. The baseplate: is arranged below the substrate; and including an array of spring elements coupling the baseplate to the substrate. The haptic actuator is arranged below the substrate and includes: a multi-layer inductor; and a first magnetic element facing the multi-layer inductor. The cover layer is arranged over the substrate to define a continuous surface defining an active region and a inactive touch region. The controller is configured to drive an oscillating voltage across the multi-layer inductor to: induce alternating magnetic coupling between the multi-layer inductor and the magnetic element; and oscillate the active touch region of the cover layer relative to the magnetic element.

Abstract: One variation of a system includes a substrate including: a first layer including a first spiral trace coiled in a first direction; a second layer arranged below the first layer and including a second spiral trace coiled in a second direction and cooperating with the first spiral trace to form a multi-layer inductor; and a sensor layer including an array of drive and sense electrode pairs. The system also includes: a cover layer arranged over the substrate and defining a touch sensor surface; and a first magnetic element arranged below the substrate and defining a first polarity facing the multi-layer inductor. The system further includes a controller configured to drive an oscillating voltage across the multi-layer inductor to oscillate the substrate in response to detecting an input on the touch sensor surface based on electrical values from the set of drive and sense electrode pairs.

Abstract: One variation of a system for a touch sensor includes: a substrate; a cover layer; a spacer element; a second electrode; and a controller. The substrate includes: a support location arranged on the substrate; and a first electrode arranged proximal the support location. The cover layer defines a touch sensor surface arranged over the substrate. The spacer element: is coupled to the substrate at the support location; and yields to displacement of the substrate downward responsive to forces applied to the touch sensor surface. The second electrode: is arranged opposite the first electrode to define a nominal gap; and is configured to effect electrical values of the first electrode responsive to displacement of the substrate. The controller is configured to: read a set of electrical values from the first sense electrode; and interpret a first force magnitude of a first touch input based on the set of electrical values.
