Gesture-controlled in-ear headphone by Acconeer, Imagimob and OSM Group soon ready for commercialization

By

As announced last year, Acconeer, Imagimob and OSM Group are working together on gesture-controlled in-ear headphones. A working prototype will be available in Q1 2021, and the platform is soon ready for commercialization. Selected customers can now schedule exclusive demos of the prototype.

Gesture control is a perfect fit for in-ear headphones, since the earbud is small and not visible for the user, which makes physical buttons difficult to use. With the small footprint of Acconeer's A1 radar sensor, and the efficient AI software by Imagimob, it is possible to get it into a device as small as the in-ear headphone.

The project combines Imagimob AI SaaS solution and its world-leading expertise in Edge AI with Acconeer's high-accuracy, low-power radar sensor in a hardware designed and manufactured by OSM Group. The aim is to provide a solid platform targeting headphone companies looking to bring gesture-control into in-ear headphones to the market in a short time, while keeping accuracy and robustness high. However, the software and hardware platform developed in the project can also be used in a wide range of other electronic devices to implement gesture control.

Gesture control and touchless user interfaces has become a hot topic as the pandemic has swept over the world. The touchless gesture control market is primarily driven by factors such as rising hygiene consciousness and low maintenance cost. Touchless interfaces in addition to gesture controls are becoming widely popular as they provide the abilities to interact with devices without physically touching them.

The project is part of the strategic innovation program Smarter Electronic Systems – a joint investment by Vinnova, Formas and Swedish Energy Agency.

Imagimob and Acconeer are both showcasing at the all-digital CES 2021 January 11-14.

Acconeer receives order from Digi-Key worth USD 52 000

By

The order relates to Acconeer's coming XM132 Entry Module and the related evaluation kit (EVK) XE132. The Entry Module, XM132, will be power and cost-efficient with optimized performance for a range of pre-defined use cases requiring low processing power and a small memory. As previously announced, the XM132 will be released during the second half of 2020.

Lars Lindell, CEO Acconeer, comments: "Since we launched the A1 sensor, many of our customers have requested a module equipped with and ARM Cortex M0 processor, which is the cheapest segment of ARM's processor range. Just like our already existing modules, the XM112 High-Performance Module and XM122 IoT Module, the XM132 is based on the A1 radar sensor and intended to make it easy for customers to evaluate and implement radar-based use cases."

With an integration-ready design where the A1 radar sensor is combined with an ARM Cortex M0 microcontroller unit (MCU), the XM132 Entry Module enables radar-based use cases with ultra-low power consumption at an outstanding system cost. To optimize performance, the module will be provided with software tailored for specific use cases. This way, performance requirements can be met at a more efficient cost for customers implementing these selected use cases.
