Neonode® Introduces Bluetooth Proximity Sensing Reference Designs for All Major Phone Brands
Media Alert: Neonode Will be Holding a Press Conference, Presented
By Neonode CEO Thomas Eriksson, At The Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2013,
Fira Gran Via (Barcelona, Spain) South Entrance CC1 Level 0, On Sunday
24th February, 17.00-19.00 The Company Introduces Reference Designs And Development Toolkits
That Have The Potential To Revolutionize The Way The World Uses Mobile
Devices
Neonode Inc., (NASDAQ: NEON), the optical touch technology company, will
unveil today its new high-performance Proximity Sensing solutions that
can either be integrated directly into Android, iPhone and Windows
Mobile devices or into their accessories (i.e. external cases). These
major innovations are based on Neonode's award-winning and patented
Multisensing optical infrared technologies.
By applying Neonode’s long and short range proximity sensors to a mobile
phone cover, or simply build it directly into a device, the mobile user
interface (UI) and device control is no longer confined to the industry
standard 4-10” 2-dimensional window. Any angle or surface of a portable
device can now be multi-touch and proximity enabled – front, sides and
back. This innovation provides a whole new type of extended and
augmented user experience, called Proximity Devices. The user experience
is extended well beyond the device's physical borders, and on to the
surrounding surface, allowing the user to interact with the UI in an
intuitive way.
“This year at Mobile World Congress, we are delighted to demonstrate the
result of some exceptional engineering accomplishments,” says Thomas
Eriksson, Neonode CEO. “The end-user's demands for a differentiated user
experience is growing exponentially with the development of high-speed,
cloud based networks and smart devices. By enabling the launch of
Proximity Devices, we believe we are providing an opportunity for
forward-looking companies to provide unique and futuristic user
experiences,” continues Eriksson.
“Neonode’s aim is to make a real difference by developing high
performing and cost-disruptive Multisensing™ solutions, coupled with our
expertise in User Experience, and User Interface Design,” Eriksson
concluded.
In addition, Neonode will also be showing its Multisensing technology
applied to flush (flat) devices (that require no bezel) that can receive
user input from any generic object including standards pens and
paintbrushes. Furthermore, the company will demonstrate optical touch
and gesture-enabled keyboards, underwater touch enabled-devices, and
proximity solutions for the automotive industry.
