REDE is offering its readers the chance to win a Development Kit for 2D/3D Touch and Gesture Sensing (DV102014) from Microchip. This kit has a value of $249,00!
The Development Kit for 2D/3D Touch and Gesture Sensing is the first development kit on the market to integrate 2D Projective-Capacitive (PCAP) and 3D gesture recognition into displays.
The kit will give designers access to Microchip's patented GestIC® 2D and 3D sensing technology, which allows them to easily integrate 2D multi-touch sensing and 3D hand gesture recognition into their display applications. The use of an electric field based technology now enables the tracking of hand and finger gestures, both on and above the surface of the display, and at a distance of up to 20cm. In addition, the development kit offers an easy-to-use experience and immediate availability that does not require you to develop code. Parameterization, diagnostics, and optional adjustments are performed using Aurea 2.0, a free downloadable graphical user interface.
The development kit for 2D/3D gesture and touch sensing incorporates Microchip's most advanced PCAP controller, the MTCH6303, with the MGC3 3130D gesture controller. It includes an eight-inch transparent touch sensor for rapid prototyping compatible with the most widely used displays on the market. The MTCH6303 provides multi-touch coordinates with a sweep speed of 100 Hz for all five fingers. It also integrates a multi-finger gesture package that is well suited for OS-driven applications as well as non-OS embedded systems.
The MGC3130 with Microchip's award-winning GestIC technology was the first electric field-based 3D gesture controller to offer low-power, accurate, and robust hand position tracking to 200 Hz. In addition, the GestIC technology uses hidden Markov models to ensure that the 3D hand gesture recognition rate exceeds 95%. Hand gestures are universal, hygienic, and easy to learn, making them ideal for display applications.
