Neonode Announces Successful Cooperation with Volvo Cars for their Next Generation, High Performing In-vehicle Infotainment System – the Sensus Connected Touch
Neonode Inc., (NASDAQ: NEON), the optical touch technology
company, today announces that it is cooperating with Volvo Cars to
incorporate Neonode’s Multisensing™ technology into Volvo’s new and
connected infotainment device - the Sensus Connected Touch. The Sensus
Connected Touch is a complete 7-inch touch panel operating on Google
Android.
“The fact that Volvo has chosen to implement Neonode’s Multisensing™
technology in to their new system is a testament to the high quality and
performance of our technology. The Volvo Sensus Connected Touch is a
result of very progressive thinking, and we are very honored to deliver
an integral part to this advanced system. The new Sensus Connected Touch
signals a much-anticipated modernization of in-car infotainment systems,
where Neonode’s Multisensing™ solution provides a premium user
experience and smooth navigation. We look forward to seeing the system
fully integrated into new Volvo cars this year,” says Thomas Eriksson,
CEO at Neonode.
Neonode’s MultiSensing™ touch solution for the automotive industry is
very adaptable when it comes to design and operation, and is developed
to fulfill strict safety regulations. The technology provides a 100%
transparent, no-glare interface that is undisturbed by electrical
interference or other light sources such as sunlight. Neonode’s
Multisensing technology is based on infrared light, enabling touch by
any type of object such as gloved fingers, car-keys, styluses or
ordinary pens. Other benefits are built-in diagnostics that provide a
self-reliant system alerting its operational status to other critical
on-board systems.
The Sensus Connected Touch was pre-viewed at CES in Las Vegas and at the
MWC in Barcelona, and launched last week at the Geneva Motor Show 2013.
