OSLO, Norway, April 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Embedded World 2024-- Today, NOVELDA, innovator of the world's most reliable ultra-wideband (UWB) radar sensors, announces it will demonstrate the new multi-target seat occupancy detection function of its NOVELDA X7 UWB In-Cabin Sensor at Embedded World 2024. NOVELDA's X7 radar chip is already capable of performing the world´s lowest power presence detection, child presence detection (CPD) and vital signs monitoring. X7 now adds seat occupancy detection capability through a software upgrade. A single UWB sensor can detect human presence in each seat within the car cabin, making it the most reliable and cost-effective seat occupancy radar solution on the market.

Key Points: 
  • NOVELDA's X7 radar chip is already capable of performing the world´s lowest power presence detection, child presence detection (CPD) and vital signs monitoring.
  • X7 now adds seat occupancy detection capability through a software upgrade.
  • The comprehensive NOVELDA X7 UWB In-Cabin Sensor has the potential to fulfill multiple use cases with a single X7 system-on-chip (SoC), including ultra-low power presence and intrusion detection, child presence detection, seat occupancy detection, vital signs monitoring and gesture recognition.
  • "By optimizing our X7 radar chip with software enabling seat occupancy detection, we ensure our NOVELDA X7 UWB In-cabin Sensor can serve additional automotive applications through robust reliability and precision," said Dag Wisland, CTO and founder of NOVELDA.

Butterscotch's display system approaches retinal resolution, which is the pixel density at which most people's eyes cannot distinguish individual pixels.

Key Points: 
  • Butterscotch's display system approaches retinal resolution, which is the pixel density at which most people's eyes cannot distinguish individual pixels.
  • This reduces the perception that the user is looking at screens, eliminating the "screen door effect" of the visible pixel grid.
  • A production-ready system would need a higher field of view, but this requires incredibly high-resolution screens and massive computing demands.
  • All reports feature multiple interview-based company profiles from key industry players in addition to SWOT analysis, readiness level assessments, and much more.
