7TH SENSE

What 7TH SENSE does

7TH SENSE LLC is a Wyoming-domiciled private company that develops ZeroForce™, a proprietary human-to-device interface technology that uses electron-gathering principles to convert any non-conductive substrate — including wood, marble, glass, composites, plastics, fiberglass, carbon fiber, tile, stone, and cement — into an active touch-sensitive input surface without altering the substrate's natural form or requiring direct contact with a sensor layer. The platform supports touch, hover, and multi-point gesture interactions at varying substrate thicknesses, and is positioned as a solid-state alternative to traditional capacitive or mechanical touch interfaces, eliminating mechanical wear points and enabling operation through gloves, in harsh outdoor environments, and across embedded microcontrollers to complex IoT, automotive, and industrial systems.

The company commercializes a single underlying technology platform through four vertical application modules: Automotive & Motorcycle (dashboard, steering, handlebar, climate, navigation, multimedia controls), Marine (navigation, lighting, entertainment, engine management under water/salt/temperature stress), Smart Home (lighting, security, kitchen, AV from countertops, walls, and furniture surfaces), and Industrial (machinery, safety, equipment interfaces usable with gloves in dust, moisture, and outdoor conditions). Distribution is exclusively direct: prospective buyers reach the company through a website contact form, phone, or email at the Sheridan, Wyoming headquarters, with no disclosed resellers, distributors, or marketplace channels and a stated global geo scope.

Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed; the available metadata characterizes the model as licensing/royalties for tailored ZeroForce™ touch control solutions delivered to manufacturers and OEMs across the four verticals. No customer logos, reference deployments, funding rounds, headcount, management team, patents, trademarks, awards, or partnerships are disclosed in the source data, indicating the company is either at a very early commercialization stage or maintains strict confidentiality around commercial relationships.

Core offering

7TH SENSE develops and licenses ZeroForce™, a proprietary human-to-device interface technology that uses electron-gathering principles to convert non-conductive substrates such as wood, marble, glass, composites, plastics, fiberglass, carbon fiber, tile, stone, and cement into active touch, hover, and gesture input surfaces. The company delivers this core technology through four vertical-specific application modules targeting automotive/motorcycle, marine, smart home, and industrial manufacturers, enabling them to embed solid-state touch controls into vehicle interiors, boats, home surfaces, and rugged industrial equipment.

Product overview

7TH SENSE offers ZeroForce™, a unified core technology platform that transforms non-conductive substrates into active input devices. The product portfolio consists of the ZeroForce™ core technology and four vertical application modules: Automotive & Motorcycle, Marine, Smart Home, and Industrial. All modules share the same underlying electron-gathering touch sensing technology while being tailored for specific industry requirements such as glove operation for industrial use, water resistance for marine environments, and sleek integration for automotive and smart home applications.

Emerging players

• FlatFrog Laboratories: FlatFrog develops in-glass optical planar touch technology for displays, whiteboards, and interactive surfaces. It is comparable to 7TH SENSE as a developer of alternative touch sensing modalities aimed at surface-integrated interactive applications in collaborative and commercial markets.
• Displax (now part of TKH Group): Displax developed projected capacitive multitouch sensors for large-format and rugged applications before integration into TKH Group. It is comparable to 7TH SENSE as a niche touch sensing provider targeting industrial and commercial customers with non-standard form factors.

Broad incumbents

• NXP Semiconductors: NXP supplies automotive microcontrollers and HMI solutions that incorporate touch/proximity sensing for vehicle interiors. Comparable to 7TH SENSE as a deeply embedded automotive touch and HMI provider, though operating as a broad incumbent across many automotive semiconductor categories rather than specializing in touch sensing.
• Infineon Technologies (PSoC/CapSense): Infineon's CapSense and PSoC families are dominant capacitive touch controllers in automotive, industrial, and consumer applications. It is a broad incumbent comparable to 7TH SENSE because both sell touch input technology to overlapping automotive and industrial customers, though Infineon's scale and incumbent OEM relationships make it the primary competitive benchmark.
• Synaptics Incorporated: Synaptics is a long-established supplier of capacitive touch and fingerprint sensing controllers used in automotive, PC, and consumer electronics. It is comparable to 7TH SENSE as a competing provider of touch input technology serving overlapping end markets, but operates at vastly larger scale with a broader portfolio.
• STMicroelectronics (Touch Sensing): STMicroelectronics produces touch-sensing controllers and proximity-sensing ICs used in automotive, industrial, and consumer devices. It is comparable to 7TH SENSE as a competing touch-input silicon provider in automotive and industrial segments, with significantly greater resources and an established design-win pipeline.
• Microchip Technology (Touch Sensing): Microchip offers mTouch capacitive touch controllers widely used in industrial and appliance applications. It is comparable as a supplier of touch input silicon to the same industrial and smart-home OEMs that 7TH SENSE targets, though Microchip's sensing is conventional capacitive rather than substrate-agnostic.

Direct peers

• Neonode Inc. Neonode develops optical and non-contact touch/gesture sensing technology for automotive, industrial, and consumer applications. It is one of the closest direct comparables to 7TH SENSE because both companies sell alternative sensing modalities (non-conductive activation, contactless interaction) targeting automotive and industrial OEMs rather than competing on standard capacitive touch.
• Elo Touch Solutions: Elo Touch Solutions manufactures touchscreens and touch sensors for retail, industrial, and commercial applications. It is a direct peer to 7TH SENSE because both sell touch input hardware to commercial/industrial customers, though Elo focuses on conventional projected capacitive and infrared touchscreens rather than substrate-agnostic sensing.
• Zytronic plc: Zytronic designs and manufactures projected capacitive touch sensors for self-service, industrial, and outdoor applications. It is a direct peer to 7TH SENSE because both supply touch input technology for rugged, outdoor, and public-facing environments where conventional capacitive sensors struggle.
