PLDS showcases H2i Touchless technology at Telematics Munich 2012

PLDS demos implementation of H2i's technology on its in-car solution

(PresseBox) (Wetzlar, )
This month at Telematics Munich 2012, Germany, automotive infotainment leader PLDS will be demoing its latest in-car system, including H2i's automotive technology. PLDS, an innovator for automotive applications, selected H2i, to supply a gesture recognition infrared system allowing new in-car interaction, even on inert surfaces.

H2i's solution is a unique infrared-based technology for creating mechanics-free touchless interfaces, gesture control, writing recognition, and proximity sensing applications. H2i offers OEM and automobile equipment manufacturers a cost-effective, hi-tech interface solution for today's demanding vehicle cockpit control systems. PLDS, with a robust portfolio of CD and DVD drives as well as new developments for the automotive industry, selected H2i's technology for a new generation of infotainment system.

"H2i's solution closes the circle of the car ecosystem offered by PLDS" says Dr. Gabriel Muresan, Senior Manager New Technology at PLDS. "Touchless Touch brings the automotive industry one step closer to eliminating the driver distraction. Along with Wireless Charging solution, Head-up Display and Smartphone Integration Touchless HMI is a natural move towards a seamless user experience in the car environment".

"We are pleased to announce our partnership with PLDS," says Laurent Maleysson, Executive Chairman of H2i. "Tier-1 automotive suppliers struggle to manage safety in connected vehicles, especially as more sophisticated mobile devices and services are being deployed. Touchless HMI continues to grow in adoption and we are pleased that PLDS can offer gesture recognition to the market."

H2i's gesture control module is available as an SDK for partners to easily integrate into their own products. The solution provides high speed gesture recognition up to 3 m/s in all light conditions.
