Dataweek is offering readers the chance to win a 3DTouchPad from Microchip. This 2D/3D input sensing development kit and reference design is production-ready and combines 2D tracking of up to 10 fingers, with 3D air gesture recognition for fast development of advanced input sensing for PC peripherals and other applications.
Based on Microchip’s GestIC technology, the system’s 3D gesture recognition offers a detection range of up to 10 cm, while the highly responsive 2D projected-capacitive, multi-touch input sensing supports up to 10 touch points and multi-finger surface gestures.
As a plug-and-play PC peripheral, 3DTouchPad connects to a PC using a single USB cable and includes a free graphical user interface, software development kit and application programming interface. It also offers out-of-the-box driverless features to enhance the user experience for Windows 7/8.X and MacOS.
