Augmenting touchless gesture recognition with haptic feedback
By Vicky Messer Ever since the development of the trackball in the 1940s and the consumer release of the computer mouse in the 1980s, engineers have sought to push the limitations of computer-human interaction in an attempt to achieve a more intuitive and natural user experience. An obvious avenue to explore has been the gestures […]
Review: Advances in Body-Centric Wireless Communication, applications and state-of-the-art
It is theoretically possible to solve Maxwell’s equations to characterize how an RF signal propagates some distance away from its transmitter, but that task is impossibly complex for…

Unlocking speech via voice isolation
by Mouser Electronics Voice and speech user interfaces are becoming more common and important in handsets, tablets, wearables, and smart devices. This is especially true for those devices that do not lend themselves to keyboards or touch screen interfaces. To deliver higher accuracy in speech processing, systems need to be able to reliably recognize voices and […]
