Alps Electric IoT Smart Modules (Graphic:
Business Wire)
Alps Electric will be exhibiting at Sensors Expo 2018 and
presenting their sensing devices for IoT and automotive. This year,
Cirque Corporation, a subsidiary of Alps Electric will also exhibit
their VR GripTM at the ALPS booth.
Exhibit Highlight :
• IoT Smart Modules
Integrating low-power, high-precision and compact sensors with a
Bluetooth® communication module, these products are capable of
acquiring pressure, temperature, humidity, ambient light and other
environmental data, as well as six-axis (geomagnetism +
acceleration) sensing.A special app (for Android) is available for
viewing data and changing sensing settings on a smartphone or
tablet. In addition, radio certification has already been acquired
for various regions around the world, allowing smooth, low-cost
progression to demonstration testing.At Sensors Expo 2018, we will
also exhibit a Function Expansion Type enabling connection of an
extra sensor.
• VR GripTM Platform
VR GripTM is Cirque’s finger position proximity sensing device
with a high-resolution circle trackpad. This solution transforms a
virtual reality controller, joystick or game controller into a
fully touch sensitive surface.In addition to tracking a user’s hand
and fingers on the controller surface, proximity sensing also
tracks finger position in the open space above the controller
surface. This provides functionality similar to a glove tracking
system, while maintaining the direct tactile feedback and trigger
control of a controller. Unique custom flexible sensors allow this
solution to fit into almost any industrial design.
