Development Platform supports 2D multi-touch & 3D gestures
Expanding the company's Human Interface Input Sensing Solutions portfolio, Microchip Technology has announced the 3DTouchPad PC peripheral. According to Microchip, this is the world’s first development platform that combines 2D multi-touch and 3D air gesture input focused on the PC/peripheral market.
Offered as a compelling development platform and reference design, 3DTouchPad adds free-space gesture recognition to projected-capacitive multi-touch. Microchip’s GestIC technology is used to provide robust 3D gesture recognition at a detection range of up to 10cm. The 3DTouchPad also provides a highly responsive projected-capacitive 2D multi-touch solution which can support up to 10 touch points and multi-finger surface gestures.
Suitable for more than the PC market and computer touch pads, 3DTouchPad can be used for hands-free sanitary products, home automation, remote controls, game controllers, wearable devices and automotive applications. The development platform provides driverless, out-of-the-box features for Windows7/8.X and OS X and a free downloadable GUI and SDK/API package tailored for developers.
Enabling innovative 2D and 3D input devices for advanced human-interface designs, the production-ready development kit includes the GUI and SDK. Available now, the 3DTouchPad (DM160225) is priced at $99.00.
