Markets
One platform, tailored to distinct OEM needs
AI is pulling sensors into every category of device, vehicle and machine. These are the markets where our platform is in development, evaluation or deployment today.
Spatial computing and wearables
Low-power micro-gesture and proximity sensing for AI glasses, XR headsets, rings and hearables, in any light.
What customers need
- Micro-gesture control
- Presence and proximity
- All-day battery life
Applications
- Micro-gestures for wearablesGesture control in the first centimetres around AI glasses, earbuds and watches, always on.Emerge MEMS
- Gesture control through the housingHigh-definition spatial sensing at very close range, in any light, through the product housing and without biometric data.Ontech CEMF
- Input rings for AI glasses and XRSubtle finger movements become discreet input for glasses and headsets.Ontech CEMF
Robotics and industrial
Non-visual perception of people and objects before contact, around glass and in low light. Close-range 3D perception for humanoid, industrial and mobile robots.
What customers need
- Safety before contact
- Material detection
- Complement to cameras and LiDAR
Applications
- Close-range perception for robotsReliable perception in the last centimetres for humanoid, industrial and mobile robots.Emerge MEMS
- Adaptive safety zones for cobotsRobots slow down as people approach, stop when a zone is crossed and resume automatically.Ontech CEMF
Aerospace and defence
The group's first sector foothold, through the aerospace division. EN 9100 certified quality, defence and perimeter-security prototypes.
What customers need
- Mission-critical engineering
- Perimeter security
