For instance, in March 2023, Elliptic Labs announced the launch of the Elliptic Eye, its new Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered touchless sensing solution. This solution employs ultrasonic sensors and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to detect and follow objects and gestures without any physical contact. The Elliptic Eye is designed for various applications such as smart homes, retail, and healthcare.
The touchless sensing technologies have advanced significantly; however, they still face technical limitations such as accuracy issues, false triggers, and challenges in detecting certain gestures or voice commands. Additionally, integrating touchless sensing systems with existing infrastructure and devices can be complex and require significant customization. These technical challenges can hinder the adoption of touchless technologies, especially in industries where precision and reliability are critical.
