Sensors, sensors everywhere. Now what do I do?
By Moshe Sheier, Vice President of Marketing at CEVA Mobile computing has driven an explosion in product opportunities – smartphones, wearables, hearables, sports cameras, and more. Sensing will further extend opportunities in applications which must be environment-aware. Now it’s commonplace to think about object recognition and collision warning through visual, radar, or Lidar sensing. Short-range […]
4-in-1 MEMS sensor measures gases, humidity, temperature and barometric pressure
Whether at home, in the office, or outdoors, we need to be confident that the air around us is clean and safe to breathe – COVID-19 has clearly highlighted the importance of air quality. Due to the particulates, gases, and even airborne viruses ubiquitously present in our modern environment, poor air quality has an increasingly […]

What is exponential technology?
In his presentation at the COMSWORLD2020 virtual event, Janusz Bryzek of eXo Imaging, described many details to support his premise of the exponential acceleration of healthcare problems. According to Bryzek, the convergence of exponential technologies or ExTech is accelerating the availability of healthcare to all. Exponential technologies include different types of health sensors, big data, […]
How can you live better in spite of vision impairment?
People who are visually impaired or even blind can now read the text from a book, smartphone screen or other surfaces. This is possible thanks to a voice-activated device that attaches to the frame of virtually any glasses. The OrCam MyEye uses an advanced 13 megapixel optical sensor that captures an image of the user’s […]
