Tiny, cost-effective sensing technology focuses on growing IoT target
markets
SUNNYVALE, Calif. & BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Rambus
Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced that it has
furthered its innovative lensless smart sensor (LSS) technology to
demonstrate thermal sensing capabilities. By extending the award-winning
LSS technology to include thermal sensing capabilities, Rambus is
broadening the applicability of the technology, enabling new and
enhanced functionality for many Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
Target applications that can benefit from the small size and
affordability of thermal and visible LSS technology include automotive
passenger detection, virtual and augmented reality eye tracking, and
smart home presence detection.

"LSS can enable a future where IoT technology is infused into many
aspects of modern life, from smart cities and transportation to medical
equipment and manufacturing," said Dr. Gary Bronner, vice president of
Rambus Labs. "With the addition of these new capabilities, LSS can
replace traditional thermal lenses with optical gratings that are
significantly less expensive, making LSS ideal for cost-sensitive IoT
applications."
First unveiled in 2014, the Rambus LSS technology has brought a
fundamentally new approach to imaging that shifts the function of
traditional optics to computation and eliminates the need for expensive
lenses by replacing them with tiny inexpensive diffractive gratings. The
gratings, combined with optimized algorithms and off-the-shelf thermal
or visible sensors, perform a wide range of functions, such as gesture
recognition, eye tracking, object identification and depth sensing. Over
the past year, Rambus' Partners-in-Open-Development (POD) program has
allowed for a handful of select design and technology companies to
implement and accelerate the development of LSS for new use cases.
