DESIGN MESH WITH TOUCH FUNCTIONALITY
Shy Tech surfaces for automotive interiors
HAVER STRUCTURA design mesh opens up new possibilities for creating smart metal surfaces in vehicle interiors. Combined with innovative Optical Touch Pressure Sensing (OTPS) technology, it enables interactive control surfaces that are both visually striking and highly functional – ideal for modern HMI concepts in automotive design.

OTPS technolgy for interactive surfaces
The fine structure of the wire mesh not only delivers a distinctive appearance but also enables functional effects such as shy tech lighting: icons only appear when illuminated and disappear when the light is off. This creates clean yet expressive surfaces that extend the design possibilities of traditional metal trims.
In combination with state-of-the-art OTPS technology, the surface responds to touch, gestures, and pressure – unlike mechanical solutions such as switches or cutouts, the visual and structural integrity of the surface remains uninterrupted. The result: seamless, premium surfaces that integrate perfectly into interior design concepts.
Technology in detail
The Optical Touch Pressure Sensing (OTPS) technology can be seamlessly integrated beneath HAVER STRUCTURA design mesh. It precisely detects gestures, pressure, and movement – even with complex mesh structures. Control logic is defined via software and can be flexibly adapted.
Technical highlights:
- Real-time gesture detection & pressure sensing
- Heatmap generation for visualizing interactions
- Compatible with CAN, Ethernet, I²C, USB
- Supports integration of LEDs, actuators, and proximity sensors
