SILENSE
(Ultra)Sound Interfaces and Low Energy iNtegrated SEnsors

SILENSE is an ECSEL JU standard (RIA) project. The SILENSE project will focus on using smart acoustic technologies and ultrasound in particular for Human Machine and Machine to Machine Interfaces. Acoustic technologies have the main advantage of a much simpler, smaller, cheaper and easier to integrate transducer. The ambition of this project is to develop and improve acoustic technologies beyond state of the art and extend its application beyond the mobile domain to Smart Home & Buildings and Automotive domains. In this project, it will be proven that acoustics can be used as a touchless activation and control mechanism, by improvement or development of different smart acoustic technology blocks (hardware, software and system level) and integrate these blocks at system level.

Please, do not hesitate to contact Jiri Kadlec and Zdenek Pohl for more information.
