GestIC E-field sensors are not
impacted by ambient influences such as light or sound since these have a
negative impact on the majority of 3D technologies.
GestIC technology allows gesture
processing on-chip – no host processing needed. Algorithms are included in the
Colibri Gesture Suite, which runs on-chip and is provided by Microchip.
The GestIC technology has a high
immunity to noise, provides high update rates and resolution, low latency, and
is also not affected by clothing, surface texture or reflectivity.
A carrier frequency in the range
of 40-100 kHz is utilized by the GestIC with minimal impact on the regulated
radio frequency range.
Usage of thin low-cost materials
such as electrodes allow low system cost at slim industrial designs.
The further use of existing
capacitive sensor structures such as a touch panel’s Indium tin oxide (ITO)
coating allow additional cost savings and ease the integration of the
technology.
Electrodes are invisible to the user’s eye since they are implemented underneath
the housing surface or integrated into a touch panel’s ITO structure.
GestIC works centrically over the full sensing space. Thus, it provides full
surface coverage without any detection blind spots.
mXT2912TG/mXT2113TG drive the
transmitter electrodes for E-field generation. The benefit is an overall
low-power system and optimized radiated EMC emissions.
Since GestIC is basically
processing raw electrode signals and computes them in real time into
preprocessed gestures, it provides a highly-flexible user interface technology
for any kind of electronic devices.
