Mobase Electronics and UltraSense Systems Expand Partnership to Deliver Next-Gen Solid-State Infotainment Systems to Global OEMs

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobase Electronics Co., Ltd. ("Mobase") and UltraSense Systems ("UltraSense") announced the production ramp of a solid-state infotainment touch bar now shipping on a high-volume global SUV platform. The program pairs UltraSense's Force HMI Controller with in-plane piezoelectric force sensing, localized haptics, and capacitive touch to deliver a sleek design and a premium "press-to-confirm" feel—modernizing the cabin versus previous mechanical interfaces.

The Force-based approach reduces false triggering compared with capacitive-only designs, offers precise, tunable force thresholds, and meets automotive Grade-B operating requirements. Designers preserve styling continuity (no frame cutouts) while enabling crisp, seamless driving functions and a refined user experience. The solution also aligns with Euro NCAP's 2026 direction encouraging tactile controls for key functions to reduce eyes-off-road time; a solid-state bar beneath the display offers drivers the opportunity to adjust by feel rather than visually hunting menus.

"Working with UltraSense, we're delivering a contemporary interface that elevates both feel and manufacturability," said Kwangyoon  Lee, Vice Chairman & CEO, Mobase Electronics. "The combination of capacitive touch, piezoelectric force, and haptics gives drivers confident control with a modern look."

"Mobase has been an excellent partner from concept to SOP," said Mo Maghsoudnia, Founder & CEO of UltraSense Systems. "Our Force HMI Controller with in-plane sensing brings a robust HMI solution with a premium experience, supporting the modern interior designs automakers want."
