SAN JOSE, Calif.-Canesta Inc. has received three patents for its electronic perception technology for techniques that lower the cost and increase the accuracy of the technology for more widespread applications, particularly for use in the security and automotive market.
Canesta’s technology was first used to provide a “projection keyboard” that allows smart phone and PDA users to project a full-size keyboard onto a flat surface. The company now plans to use the technology in the security arena to create “contour maps” to simplify intruder detection and facial recognition and in the automotive industry for occupant sensing in advanced airbag deployment.
