Company Information
Quantum Research Group is the developer of QProx sensing technology, famed for its ability to transform ordinary objects and materials into sense elements. From keypads to level sensors to intrusion alarms and beyond, QProx technology can be embedded within almost any object or within any material to create different sensing effects. For example, a QProx can turn an entire potted plant into a sensor to make an intrusion alarm, or be used to create a new kind of touch screen. QProx can sense the presence of objects even when the sensing element is behind a thick layer of insulating material. QProx employs the patented charge-transfer effect, coupled with intelligent signal processing to provide an amazing degree of versatility.
Contribution
The Quantum Research Group, Ltd. has donated to the HyperMedia Studio several varieties of its Qprox capacitive sensing integrated circuits, along with prototyping and development circuit boards. The HyperMedia Studio is using these products to explore hidden and non-instrusive methods of sensing the presence, proximity, and touch of people and objects. Upcoming applications include the use of several E9701 development boards in a prototype version of a project developed by Ivan Marino, HyperMedia visiting scholar from Argentina. Qprox technology will provide both a sensitive grid of floor tiles, as well as proximity sensing for twelve six-foot metal bars used in the installation.
