Microchip Technology has announced the new MGC3130 Hillstar Development Kit to develop 3D gesturing systems for designers. The MGC3130 is a single-chip 3D gesture-free space position tracking solution. With several additional reference electrode designs and Aurea Graphical User Interface Software, the development kit enables an easy design-in of the MGC3130 into several different form factors.
The GestIC Technology enabled with the MGC3130 serves a wide range of applications in the computing, lighting, consumer-electronics and automotive markets. The kit provides designers with a path to integrate Microchip's industry-leading technology in their applications, in the shortest possible time.
The MGC3130 Hillstar Development Kit enables customers to integrate an advanced 3D hand- position and gesturing user interface into virtually any electronic product. The modular approach, with complete documentation, reference layouts, hardware and a software GUI, follows Microchip's philosophy of providing world-class tools for the broad engineering community, said Steve Drehobl, Vice-President of Microchip's MCU8 Division.
The Hillstar Development Kit MGC3130 Configurable 3D Gesture Controller is available for purchase and is shipping in production volumes.
