Understanding how helmet tightening systems affect fit is far more complex than it first appears. In working with BOA, PPS customised its Modular TactileHead to investigate how loads shift across the head during adjustment, uncovering a series of engineering challenges behind reliable pressure measurement.
続きを読むA palm sensor designed for grip force analysis was never supposed to end up in a neonatal CPR study. But when researchers tried it anyway, the data revealed something uncomfortable: trained clinicians performing the same life-saving procedure were applying vastly different levels of force — and nobody had been measuring it before.
続きを読むA purpose-built curling training brush developed with PPS enabled objective measurement of sweeping force, consistency, and fatigue during elite-level coaching sessions, providing performance insights that have supported teams competing at national, World Championship, and Olympic level.
続きを読むThis Heeluxe & PPS partnership shows how footwear expertise and tactile sensing technology combined to create SmartLast, transforming how footwear fit is evaluated and how design and comfort decisions are made.
続きを読むPressure influences everything from the comfort of your glasses to the precision of a robotic gripper. Dr. Jae Son, founder of PPS, explains how tactile pressure mapping reveals how force is distributed, transforming invisible interactions into data that drives smarter, safer, and more comfortable designs.
