People in motion
in the labRiders, crews and teams who need to know what's coming up behind them or beside them, without turning around.
Sensing · in the lab
Awareness that works when you can't see.
Dark, smoke, fog, dust, behind you. We're building sensing that keeps watch where eyes and cameras can't, and tells the right person in time.
The technology
Millimeter-wave, in plain English
It's the same kind of radar newer cars use to watch their blind spots. It sends out a tiny, harmless radio signal and listens for the echo, so it knows how far away something is, how fast it's moving and which way.
It sees through plastic, fabric, smoke and fog, so the sensor can be sealed inside its housing, out of the weather.
It doesn't take pictures. There are no faces and no video, only distance, speed and direction. That makes it a fit for places a camera never should be.
Where it's going
One idea, many places to wear and mount it
We're keeping the details close while we build. Here's the direction.
Smoke and dark
in the labAwareness for people working where visibility is zero, so the team knows who is where and who has stopped moving.
Working dogs
in the labThe handler's partner sees and hears what the handler can't. We want the handler to know too.
Care
in developmentCamera-free fall detection for hospice and elder care. This is where our millimeter-wave work started. Why.
How it fits
It reports to the map you already use
- Same private map. Alerts land on the team map, the watch and the radio mesh we already run, not a new app.
- Checked first. Every alert goes through the same double-check as everything else we build, so people aren't buried in false alarms.
- Works off grid. Built to keep working with no cell signal, over our radio mesh.
- Yours. It runs on hardware you control, with no cloud required.
