GestIC Technology Benefits

• GestIC E-field sensors are not impacted by

ambient influences such as light or sound, which

have a negative impact to the majority of other 3D

technologies.

• GestIC technology allows gesture/position track-

ing processing on chip – no host processing

needed. Algorithms are included in the Colibri

gesture suite which runs on chip and is provided

my Microchip.

• The GestIC technology has a high immunity to

noise, provides high update rates and resolution,

low latency and is also not affected by clothing,

surface texture or reflectivity.

• A carrier frequency in the range of 44-115 kHz is

being used with the benefit of being outside the

regulated radio frequency range. In the same

manner, GestIC is not affected by radio

interference.

• Usage of thin low-cost materials as electrodes

allow low system cost at slim industrial designs.

• The further use of existing capacitive sensor

structures such as a touch panel’s ITO coating

allow additional cost savings and ease the

integration of the technology.

• Electrodes are invisible to the users’ eye since

they are implemented underneath the housing

surface or integrated into a touch panel’s ITO

structure.

• GestIC works centrically over the full sensing

space. Thus, it provides full surface coverage

without any detection blind spots.

• Only one GestIC transmitter electrode is used for

E-field generations. The benefit is an overall low

power consumption and low radiated EMC noise.

• Since GestIC is basically processing raw

electrode signals and computes them in real time

into pre-processed gestures and x, y, z positional

data, it provides a highly flexible user interface

technology for any kind of electronic devices.
