VIA optronics AG (NYSE:VIAO) (“VIA”), a leading supplier of
interactive display systems and solutions, has formed a strategic
partnership with SigmaSense, a global leader in touch sensing
performance. As part of the strategic partnership, VIA has made a
financial investment into SigmaSense and expanded their
collaboration to develop new touch solutions for automotive
applications, industrial displays and consumer electronics.
“We are excited to announce our expanded collaboration and
investment in SigmaSense. Combining the SigmaSense technology with
our metal mesh touch capabilities will not only allow us to offer
enhanced touch resolution and quality, we will also be able to
provide new and exciting touch functionalities,” said Jürgen
Eichner, CEO & Founder of VIA. “With SigmaSense, we can deliver
next level interactive user experiences while also applying new
innovations across industries, from the consumer market to the high
end automotive and industrial markets.”
SigmaSense is pioneering a digital transformation to low-power,
multi-frequency, analog to digital converters (ADC), which have
continuous driving and sensing of analog systems. SigmaSense’s
touch sensing technologies facilitate significant touch performance
improvement and can offer between 100 and 1,000 times better
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) than solutions currently available in
the market. This level of performance compares favorably with many
of today’s mobile phones, even on full-width dashboards using
complex glass shapes or flexible polymers. This allows the touch
sensing technology of SigmaSense to work in the harshest and most
challenging environments like rain or snow, even while wearing
thick winter gloves.
Rick Seger, CEO & Co-founder of SigmaSense, added: “We’re
delighted to be working closely with VIA on delivering new,
innovative touch experiences in harsh and demanding conditions.
VIA’s confidence to invest in SigmaSense will also accelerate our
collaboration to take full advantage of our combined strengths in
advanced displays and user interfaces.”
The Society for Information Display recently awarded SigmaSense
the esteemed 2021 Display Component of the Year Award. The 2021
Display Industry Awards honors innovative display products,
components, and applications that hold the most promise for shaping
the future of the global display industry.
