[3D Roundabout]
With IS2012 less than 2 weeks away, the image sensors industry waits in anticipation to hear what technologies are around the corner.
This year’s commercial Image Sensors conference is set to reveal advances in a range of technologies outside of traditional digital cameras by leading industry figures.
As well as the more obvious cinematic applications, “3D cameras could offer amazing possibilities of improvement in many areas like automotive, security and surveillance, cultural heritage preservation, ambient-assisted living, industrial control,” says Dr David Stoppa of Fondazione Bruno Kessler.
SoftKinetic, a leading company in gesture recognition, have the view that this technology “will dramatically improve some established user interfaces, like the television for example. We also see user interactions emerging, where previously there were none: digital signage is a good example of such a market,” notes their CTO, Daniël Van Nieuwenhove.
From 3D to invisible, for non-visible spectrum applications Dr Renato Turchetta of RAL highlights that “in large area applications, like mammography or chest radiography, TFT technology has been the major player for many years now. ….
On other disruptive technologies, he says, “I think use of non-silicon materials could be disruptive if any of them work out. …
The above commentators and many other key industry figures will be presenting at the Image Sensors 2012 conference taking place 20-22 March 2012, Hotel Russell, London.
