Headlamps offer a unique intersection of rigid mechanical constraints and soft humanistic materials. Drawing inspiration from the advancements in LED lighting seen in the automotive sector, Tactile explored a headlamp concept, aiming to push the boundaries of light patterning in headlamp technology.

One of the key challenges in this endeavor is the fact that headlamps are worn directly on the head, necessitating a user interface (UI) that can be operated blindly and relies heavily on physical ergonomics. This unique requirement has sparked an in-depth exploration into button design, seeking to create a tactile and intuitive control system that enhances the user experience.
