Infineon Technologies, Monday announced that it is working with Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects group (ATAP) to develop a sensing solution for potential applications such as wearables, Internet-of-Things and automotive applications.
First implementations which provide gesture recognition and presence detection capability for a range of future devices were demonstrated last week by ATAP at the Google I/O Developers Conference in San Francisco.
The sensor provides Google ATAP and its developer community with a compact and low power implementation suitable for integration and use in both mobile and fixed devices. It is based on Infineon’s advanced 60GHz transceiver technology integrating RF transceiver, antenna and control electronics in a single package.
