Enhanced Tactile Visualisation Solution

Glasgow-based Pressure Profile Systems (PPS) has just introduced Chameleon 2026 - the latest version of its tactile visualisation, acquisition and data interpretation software package. Using this platform, design engineers can rapidly gain a detailed view of how surfaces interact through contact and pressure.

Thanks to the upgraded user interface incorporated, a more intuitive environment for the capturing and subsequent analysing of pressure data is provided. Faster, more precise signal processing capabilities mean that sensitivity is enhanced and noise levels reduced - resulting in clearer insight on every contact interaction. The software connects directly to popular analytical platforms (such as MATLAB, Excel, Mathcad, etc.).

“Few commercial tools provide comparable integration between data capture and analysis,” notes Dr. Jae Son, CEO of PPS. “Chameleon 2026 retains the core strengths of previous versions but adds improved GUI, video resolution, and enhanced annotation features. Along with expanded options for data export and presentation, engineers can monitor average, peak and centre-of-pressure values in real time, record experiments for team review and copy visualisations directly into design documentation. This results in a more connected workflow that massively enhances collaboration and data interpretation.”
