VibeTonz Mobile Player is a mobile technology that provides a broad range of touchscreen based tactile force feedback effects while playing mobile games, ringtones or sound notifications for new SMS text messages.

Here are some of the key features of VibeTonz Mobile Player:

+ VibeTonz enabled vibrations in ringtones can be used for caller identification which can provide information on who’s calling even in noisy environments or when sound is turned off, without looking at the mobile phone screen

+ VibeTonz tactile integrates in user interface features, like call drop, key press, ringing and busy signals, making phone operation easier. Any button or input device can have its own distinctive tactile response. You can scroll through lists and menus and feel a small “bump” for each item, like the clicks on the climate control knob in your car. When scrolling through a list of messages, unopened messages feel differently, producing a bounce or pop effect. When using a pen or touch pad, you get a confirming tap instead of just an audible beep.

+ Vibetonz enabled Mobile games offers touchscreen based tactile force feedback similar to that found in console games. Here’s an example of Independence Day, a Vibetonz enabled game that lets the player feel the acceleration of missiles and blast of explosions from an F-18 Hornet.

+ VibeTonz cues can also be added to navigation features, helping users find unread or important messages, friends in the address book, and particular menu items quickly.

+ Alerts and Alarms using VibeTonz effects announce themselves through distinguishable touch based vibration force feedback ranging from subtle tapping, a reverberation like Big Ben’s clock tower, or the rhythm of ocean waves.
