Neonode, a company developing optical touch technologies, has teamed up with Volvo Cars to integrate NEON’s Multisensing™ technology into the Swedish automaker’s new and connected infotainment device, the Sensus Connected Touch, a complete 7-inch touch panel operating on Google Android.
NEON’s Multisensing touch solution meets all safety regulations and provides a 100 percent transparent, no-glare interface, enabling touch by any type of object, including gloved fingers or ordinary pens. The system features a built-in diagnostics that automatically alerts its operational status to other critical on-board systems.
Thomas Eriksson, CEO at NEON noted the innovation of both companies’ products.
“The fact that Volvo has chosen to implement Neonode’s Multisensing technology in to their new system is a testament to the high quality and performance of our technology. The Volvo Sensus Connected Touch is a result of very progressive thinking, and we are very honored to deliver an integral part to this advanced system. The new Sensus Connected Touch signals a much-anticipated modernization of in-car infotainment systems, where Neonode’s Multisensing solution provides a premium user experience and smooth navigation. We look forward to seeing the system fully integrated into new Volvo cars this year,” Eriksson stated in the press release.
Volvo’s Sensus Connected Touch launched last week at the Geneva Motor Show 2013.
