Somalytics has developed very sensitive carbon nanotube capacitive sensors that can detect human tissue up to 20cm away. Their sensors are small (<1mm diameter), low latency (<3ms), and fast (up to 1000hz). Use cases include eye tracking, touchless and contact HMI (human machine interaction), wearables and industrial.

VideowindoW transforms windows, including the entire glass curtain of a skyscraper, into a black and white video screen.
