One of the standout technologies at this year’s CES may soon make your smart home completely transparent — to its 3D sensors, at least. Vayyar Imaging, a previous CES Innovation Award honoree, unveiled its latest wave of sensors for the smart home at the show.
Vayyar’s proprietary technology combines multiple capabilities into a single sensor that covers an entire smart home. These small, cost-efficient sensors send multiple radio frequency waves that are interpreted by Vayyar’s software to create a 3D image of what’s going on in the environment. Every time these electromagnetic waves encounter different materials, the reflection from that signal is collected by Vayyar’s sensors.
“The core ability to monitor an environment, track movements, classify objects, measure vital signs, and see through solid objects are the pillars of our growth,” the company said.
The company was founded in 2011 with a vision to use this advanced scanning technology to detect breast cancer. Once it had a working technology, Vayyar realized the scope of its application needed to widen considerably, and fielded interest from markets including smart
