Product Platform

Humain_One is a non-invasive and small human-machine interface in the form factor of a smartwatch.
It uses densely distributed, multi-dimensional sensor arrays that measure musculo-tendon-complex induced skin deformations resulting from the users’ continuous finger movements or the users’ gestures.
The Humain_One algorithm furthermore assigns these skin deformations with limb movements and generates control commands for a specific application to be executed. Application scenarios are versatile:
-
augmented reality | virtual reality | mixed reality | extended reality
-
motion capturing
-
virtual twin - industrial process engineering
-
robot teaching | human-robot collaboration | humanoid robots | telerobotics
-
virtual twin - metaverse
-
smartwatch | wearable contol
-
smart home applications
-
upper and lower limb prosthetics, etc.


Key Features
Humain_One is the world’s most compact, wrist-worn, non-invasive wearable for real-time gesture and continuous finger motion prediction
Patented: US 12,001,601 | EP 3977238 | WO 2020/239202 A1

Non-invasive measurement of force distribution in your skin

Highly-integrated
3D-sensor system with small form factor

Accurate identification of continuous finger & hand movements

Scalable and robust hardware in an efficient development kit

The Humain_One device is a fully wearable standalone sensor system with a WiFi-enabled microcontroller, that connects to a host pc. Thanks to its small form factor, IC-level data preprocessing, and low-level digital output, the device is barely noticeable while wearing it.
In short, the wearable device transmits sensor readouts to a host via WIFI, the host device runs the equally light-weight software to decode sensor data according to the user’s finger and hand movements and allows for the control of an application, e.g. smartwatch, robot or car.

The device has an USB port that allows for programming and charging the sensor system. For the sake of convenience, an external reset and power switch are implemented.
The actual sensor system containing twelve multi-dimensional sensing points measures only 5cm².
90% of the housing is occupied by a multiplexer, a commercial microcontroller, and the battery - components that are already inherent to most wearables.
Efficient Manufacturing
1 Sensing point has only 2 Components
