A new take on the concept of digital twins was announced by Nvidia at its developer conference in San Jose this week, as founder and CEO, Jensen Huang announced that the company’s Omniverse Cloud will be available as APIs (application programming interfaces). Customers will be able to use these APIs to design, simulate, test and build physically based digital twins ...

Demonstrations of automotive technology at CES paved the way for autonomous driving and emphasised the role of sensors and AI in vehicle systems, reports Caroline Hayes. Automotive radar has been described as one of the most significant additions to vehicles in the past two decades. In a 3D form, measuring azimuth (horizontal angle) distance and velocity, radar is used in ...

Alps Alpine has launched a touchless capacitive overlay to add proximity control to 15.6inch displays. Detection range is 50 – 80mm for hand or finger proximity, 30 – 50mm to select an action and 0-30mm to activate an action. “Capacitive touch panels offer intuitive input and control. The flipside is that normal capacitive touch panel input is obstructed by wet ...

Innovations in flexible display technology have led to the development of screens that can bend, curve and even roll, opening up new design possibilities, says Shankar Nishant. Flexible display technology can apply to various applications, from smartphones and wearables to automotive displays. Flexible displays have come a long way since the first curved screens and recent developments have made it ...

Using Arduino’s recently introduced Giga R1 WiFi CPU board and need a human interface? The Giga Display Shield (plug-in board) might fit the bill. It adds a 3.97inch 480 x 800 RGB touchscreen, digital microphone (MP34DT06JTR by ST), six-axis IMU (Bosch BMI270 inertial measurement unit), an RGB LED and a camera connector. Touch on the display is five-point + gesture, ...

Estone Technology has introduced a range of Arm processor 10.1in touch-panel PCs for industrial AI applications with neural network processing, camera interfaces and power-over-Ethernet. Called PPC-4910, computing comes from NXP’s i.MX8M Plus 1.8GHz quad Cortex-A53 core processor, which has an integrated AI/ML neural processing unit (NPU) operating at up to 2.3Top/s “that focuses on edge AI, vision processing and other ...

Powertip has created a multi-option display-driving single-board computer (right) that uses daughter boards (left below) to add Quad core 64bit Arm CPUs running at 1.6GHz – either NXP with four Cortex-A53 CPUs, or Rockchip with four Cortex-A35 CPUs. “Engineers will often want to work with Linux-based software to develop their own graphic interfaces,” according to Berkshire-based distributor Inelco Hunter. “The ...

Review Display Systems is stocking monochrome and multi-colour e-Paper dot matrix displays from Holitech Technology. Spanning 1.54 to 31.2in, the displays are reflective and bi-stable, requiring energy to change the image, but no power to hold the image. Built on a plastic substrate, the displays are more rugged than glass in the face of “extreme shock, vibration and physical impacts”, ...

Two square displays by Taiwanese optoelectronics specialist, AUO, are now available from Display Technology. The 28-inch and 44-inch TFT displays have a diagonal size of 28.1 and 44.9-inch respectively. The P281SVN01.0 28-inch (526mm) model has a resolution of 800 x 800 pixels and a brightness of 700 cd/m². It has a wide viewing angle of 89° in all directions, making ...

A large, 21.5-inch TFT LCD display available from Relec Electronics is designed for easy integration into equipment that is used outdoors. The HA-215HVEEUAB0-AA has a large active area of 476.06mm  x 267.79mm and an aspect ratio of 16:9. Resolution is 1920 x 1080. A high brightness level of 500cd/m2 ensures reliable performance in a wide variety of indoor applications and ...
