Delaware Patent of the Month – March 2025
SigmaSense, a leader in next-gen sensing solutions, has unveiled a pioneering computing device that transforms how machines capture and interpret physical interactions. At the heart of the innovation is an advanced image sensing grid that doesn’t just see — it feels proximity, pressure, and movement in real time.
Unlike traditional touchscreens or scanners, this new technology uses a grid of finely tuned sensors and drive-sense circuits to detect how an object disrupts electrical signals. These disturbances are converted into detailed, frame-by-frame 3D image data. More impressively, the system smartly reduces data on the fly, balancing fidelity and processing power depending on the output capacity and use case.
Smarter, Faster, and More Efficient Imaging
Whether tracking motion, rendering topography, or generating thermal heat maps, SigmaSense’s innovation dynamically compresses image data — either losslessly for precision tasks or with lossy methods when speed matters most. This ensures rich visual feedback without overwhelming system bandwidth.
By making real-time 3D imaging both scalable and efficient, the technology opens the door to smarter touch interfaces, immersive AR/VR systems, and responsive robotics.
A Leap Toward More Natural Interfaces
With its seamless blend of sensing and processing, this device doesn’t just gather data — it understands interaction. SigmaSense’s invention signals a leap forward in how machines can perceive and respond to the world.
