Offered as a compelling development platform and reference design, 3DTouchPad adds free-space gesture recognition to projected-capacitive multi-touch. Microchip’s GestIC technology is used to provide robust 3D gesture recognition at a detection range of up to 10cm. The 3DTouchPad also provides a highly responsive projected-capacitive 2D multi-touch solution which can support up to 10 touch points and multi-finger surface gestures.
Suitable for more than the PC market and computer touch pads, 3DTouchPad can be used for hands-free sanitary products, home automation, remote controls, game controllers, wearable devices and automotive applications. The development platform provides driverless, out-of-the-box features for Windows7/8.X and OS X and a free downloadable GUI and SDK/API package tailored for developers.
Enabling innovative 2D and 3D input devices for advanced human-interface designs, the production-ready development kit includes the GUI and SDK. Available now, the 3DTouchPad (DM160225) is priced at $99.00.
