This device gives customers a cost-effective gesture solution without compromising on the interior design of a vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While existing solutions such as infrared and time-of-flight technologies can be costly and operate poorly in bright or direct sunlight, the MGC3140 offers reliable sensing in full sunlight and harsh environments.<\/p>\n<p>Other solutions on the market also come with physical constraints and require significant infrastructure and space to be integrated in a vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>The MGC3140 is compatible with ergonomic interior designs and enables HMI designers to innovate with fewer physical constraints, as the sensor can be any conductive material and hidden from view.<\/p>\n<p>The Emerald evaluation kit provides a convenient evaluation platform for the 3D gesture recognition controller.<\/p>\n<p>The kit includes a reference Printed Circuit Board (PCB) with the MGC3140 controller, a PCB-based sensor to recognise gestures, as well as all needed cables, software and documentation to support an easy-to-use user experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Car manufacturers are increasingly seeking ways to reduce driver distraction through implementing functional safety technology in vehicles.
