Elliptic Labs' INNER REFLECTION Makes Smart Device Interaction Easier

— June 12, 2018 — Art & Design
Elliptic Labs is a global company that specializes in developing "ultrasound virtual proximity" and gesture sensing platforms. Its latest innovation — INNER REFLECTION, was announced at the 2018 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The high-tech development is basically an ultrasound-based presence-sensing platform that allows manufacturers to upgrade any consumer product that has a speaker, a microphone or any type of audio processor.

Elliptic Lab plans to offer a path for a more integrated home and a better connected consumer. The INNER REFLECTION sensing platform will upgrade smart home devices and make them more in-tune with an extremely important aspect — the user experience. From responding when someone enters the room to going to sleep mode when they leave, INNER REFLECTIONS' 360-degree interaction zone is designed to be convenient and non-intrusive.
