(iTers News) - With the opening of the annual 2015 CES show, less than three weeks away, TI said it would take warps off a wide variety of chip solutions that not only power a next generation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)m but also Internet of Things (IoT), smart homes and wearables.
The below are just a few of our 100+ product demonstrations, many of which will be posted as videos on TI YouTube page:
• Digital cockpit integration enabled by TI’s “Jacinto 6 Ex” is a fusion between traditional infotainment, cluster, heads-up display, and informational ADAS (surround view and front camera applications). A single “Jacinto 6 Ex” ups driving experience with triple displays (center stack, digital cluster and heads-up display).
• A battery-free sensor network demonstrates the operation of a wireless sensor system that could support up to 30 nodes. Powered by ambient energy, the demo features a live network visualizer and shows direct node-to-hub communication. The display shows temperature measured by each node, color gradient and distance information from central hub, simulating a state-of-the-art home network.
• TI’s DLP® products 3-D printer employs the DLP Structured Light Software Development Kit to enable high accuracy and high-speed 3-D printed objects. The system features the programmable DLP® LightCrafter4500™ evaluation module to precisely expose object layers and the ultra-low-power MSP430™ microcontroller to synchronize layer exposure with motor control for flexible 3-D builds.
• TI’s DLP® Pico™ projection technology is incorporated in Sprout by HP, an immersive computing platform that combines the power of an advanced, all-in-one desktop computer with a natural user interface to break down the barriers between the digital and physical worlds. This demo will showcase Sprout by HP’s projection system which allows a user to immediately interact and create.
• The Haptic Bluetooth® Kit includes our DRV2605 haptic driver with LRA and integrates haptics, power management and wireless connectivity. This demonstrates haptics’ ability to provide updates to users through non-visual means, instead relying on a sense of touch. A companion iOS app allows for easy prototyping, in order to add tactile feedback to nearly any application.
Autonomous vehicles are also expected to generate a lot of buzz at CES this year. Fernando Mujica, director of TI’s autonomous vehicles lab, Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt and Dr. Dirk Hoheisel from Bosch will present their take on the “Obstacles on the Road to Self-Driving Cars” on Wednesday, January 7, at 11:30 a.m. PST in Room N261 (North Hall). These experts will discuss regulations, legislation and privacy issues that need to be addressed before driverless cars become a reality.
If you’re able to attend the show, make sure you head over to the TI Village in the North Hall (N115 – N119) for a first-hand experience with more than 100 consumer electronics demonstrations covering all the exciting tech trends, including crystal-clear audio solutions, automotive innovations, DLP® technology, haptics, wireless connectivity and wireless power.
