Today, technological progress has contributed to a number of improvements in smartphones. We have seen bezelless cameras, pop-up phones, foldable phones and the list continues. UltraSense Systems, a start-up located in California, has now come up with a system to disable mechanical buttons on smartphone hands, as Reuters announced.





UltraSense plans to use a technology based on ultrasonic sound waves to replace the physical buttons. The company said that it comes with a chip which is around the size of a mouse, with which you just have to press the phone frame and don't have to use physical buttons to monitor speed, take photos and make calls.

In fact, the new system operates regardless of whether the frame is made of steel, titanium, glass or plastic. Next year, these processors will be included in a number of consumer electronic products but have not disclosed to the firms that these items will come from.

The substitution of buttons on phones with a processor makes it easier to produce these products, according to Daniel Goehl, the chief executive officer of UltraSense. There are a slew of companies working out there to substitute traditional keys. Take Sentons, for example, a company led by an Ex-Apple Engineer who introduced a chip for the same reason.
