SHENZHEN, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elliptic Labs, the leader in ultrasonic touchless gesturing for consumer electronic devices, today announced a market first; “Multi Layer Interaction.” It enables mobile devices to display different content depending on the location and distance a user’s hand is from a device. Visitors to China Hi-Tech Fair, November 16-21 in Shenzhen will have a chance to try out the technology live at the Murata booth #2B36. See video.
“The new Multi Layer Interaction brings users the latest advance in intuitive device interactions. Without touching the device, as your hand moves towards your phone, the screen lights up and information is displayed. As you continue to move your hand closer, different information is revealed. It’s all about improving the user experience and by presenting easier ways to interact with mobile devices,” said Elliptic Labs CEO Laila Danielsen. “Our new Multi Layer Interaction makes it faster to work with applications you use repeatedly during the day, such as checking messages, playing games, navigating maps, interacting with social media and watching videos.
“With this new capability, manufacturers can build mobile devices that offer a more intuitive navigation experience and quicker interactions. Multi Layer Interaction enhances the most popular interactions with a minimum amount of effort. Manufacturers can also create entirely new ways to interact with portable devices; it can be used to wake up a device – even when the main application processor is sleeping,” noted Danielsen.
“We share Elliptic's vision for creating products that enhance the way people interact with consumer electronics. We are excited to partner with Elliptic to deliver natural touchless gesture capabilities to our customers,” said, Satoshi Sonoda, Senior Vice President, Device Business Unit at Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
With Elliptic Labs’ gesture recognition technology the entire zone above and around a mobile device becomes interactive and responsive to the smallest gesture. The active area is 180 degrees around the device.
The company’s new software developer kit (SDK) allows OEMs to cost-effectively integrate intuitive and consumer-friendly touchless gesturing into their devices. Available immediately through sales@ellipticlabs.com.
