Ultrahaptics wins Queen’s Award for enterprise for innovation
Ultrahaptics has announced that Her Majesty The Queen has granted the company the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category.Ultrahaptics technology uses ultrasound to project the tactile sensations through the air onto a user’s hands, enabling them to ‘feel’ virtual buttons, get touch feedback for mid-air gestures, and interact with virtual objects.
Time of Flight sensor extends detection range
TheVL53L1Xtime-of-flight sensor from STMicroelectronics extends the detection range of ST’s FlightSense technology to four meters, bringing high accuracy, low power distance measurement, and proximity detection to an even wider variety of applications.
Achieving digitalisation through servitisation
While technology such as AI, robotics and the IoT are significant in their own right, it is the combination of these technologies that will really impact Industry 4.0. However, to successfully converge these technologies, you need to invest in software. In this article, Stefan Reuther, Chief Sales Officer at COPA-DATA, explains why servitisation will improve the onboarding process of new software.
Tackling the extreme battery design challenge
With more devices being designed for use in challenging environments,one of the numerous benefits of technology is that it allows businesses to optimise operations in extreme conditions. However, this presents a challenge for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) tasked with designing these products. In this article Michele Windsor, Global Marketing Manager at Accutronics, looks at how design engineers can tackle the extreme challenge.
Researchers examine 1,000 years of English
Evidence suggests that the interface between humans and technology will only become more central to modern life.For humans to be able to extract meaningful information from the troves of data being collected by the 'smart' machines with which we interact--such as mobile phones-- computers need to be able process language like humans. The branch of artificial intelligence that addresses this need is called natural language processing.
From something you can feel to something that feels right
Helped by EU funding, Ultrahaptics is the first and only company in the world to develop a device which allows users to feel sensations with their bare hands while interacting in mid-air with a touchless sensing system. This frontier heralds a fundamentally new relationship with technology.The EU-funded UTOUCH project has enabled the development of ultrasonic speakers which project Invisible forces into the air, capable of being felt on human ski...
