Putting a new (inter)face on your relationship with technology.

 

Shake up the Open Innovation Day HMI at Graz 

On March 27, 2019,the Silicon Alps Cluster invites for the Open Innovation Day at Messe Congress Graz. This cutting-edge event will be looking at how the latest and greatest developments in human-machine interfaces (HMI) are opening up new, intuitive, right-now gateways to information and the Internet of Things. Touch sensitivity, voice and gesture recognition, and augmented reality are just some of the technologies that are helping to make our homes, cities and lifestyles smarter and more secure.

If you are working on innovative HMI ideas or concepts and would like to team up with an industrial partner to take them to the next level, contact us! We are looking for development partners for the Silicon Alps cooperation partners for the next chapter in HMI innovation; startups or SMEs that are keen to shape the future of human-machine interaction with an experienced, pioneering partner by their side. We would be especially keen to talk to you if you are working on innovative audio, environmental or radar sensing concepts. We are particularly interested in advancing audio recording, voice recognition, acoustic communication, emissions measurements, gesture control and vital sensing. Other research hotspots include 3D camera-based time-of-flight applications for next-generation scanning, sensing, identification and tracking capabilities, ideally augmented through sensor fusion.

If we speak your language and you want to be part of tomorrow’s HMI conversation, submit your application.
