Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008015365A2] The invention concerns an image capture and haptic input device. The device comprises at least one image sensor and haptic input means. The invention is characterized in that the image sensor is surrounded by the haptic input means. The latter can comprise discrete touch sensors distributed in a circle around the image sensor or in a matrix at the center of which the image sensor is positioned. The device can also comprise rows of touch sensors positioned offset from each other so that the touch sensors are staggered. In that case, the device comprises several image sensors positioned in interstices between the touch sensors. Instead of discrete touch sensors, the device can comprise a deformable sensitive membrane in the center of which an image sensor is positioned.
