Microchip GestIC Air Gsture Controllers

Simple and intuitive 3D gesture control for virtually any product with the world’s first near-field (E-field) electric 3D gesture and motion tracking controllers. Based on patented GestIC® technology, these single-processor solutions perform gesture detection and motion tracking without requiring any host processing. They feature a complete gesture portfolio that enables natural hand and finger movements in free space to create innovative, engaging, and user-friendly interfaces in a variety of embedded applications, including:

Automotive
Notebooks/PC Peripherals
Audio Products
Appliances, Household Appliances, and Climate Control
Home Automation
Light Switches
Industrial and Medical Switches
E-Readers
Gaming Controllers

Similar to a capacitive touch sensor, GestIC technology uses an electric field sensor to detect gestures. The electrodes are invisible behind the device casing, allowing for an aesthetically pleasing user interface design without the need for holes or other cutouts that are typically required for cameras or infrared-based systems.

Benefits:
Single-chip gesture solution for embedded applications
Sensing range from 0 (touch) to 20 cm
Very energy-efficient design
No detection blind spots
No environmental influences (light/sound)
Use of thin, inexpensive sensing electrodes, such as a standard PCB
Highest gesture detection reliability
Active noise handling
44-100 kHz carrier frequency; no RF interference

The unique feature of GestIC technology is that it enables on-chip gesture recognition without additional processing, allowing for easy creation of efficient user interfaces and faster time-to-market. The integrated Colibri Gesture Suite uses a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) gesture recognition engine that can detect subtle differences in time, amplitude, and other parameters to ensure high recognition rates of intentional hand gestures while reducing reactions to general hand movements and unintentional gestures.

 Models:

- MGC3030 / MGC3130

MGC3030/MGC3130 contain all the building blocks needed to develop robust 3D gesture sensing systems. Implemented as a low-power, mixed-mode, configurable controller, they provide a large set of intelligent features, including an integrated signal driver, an adaptive frequency input path for automatic noise suppression, and a digital signal processing (DSP) unit.
