July 10, 2007
PARIS — Sensitive Object and Tyco Electronics' Elo TouchSystems have announced a cross-license agreement to further the development of their technologies and expand their respective product offerings.
Sensitive Object owns technology based on the recognition of sound waves in solid objects called ReverSysTM. According to a news release, ReverSysTM can be used in everything from home–automation applications and control panels to touchscreens and intelligent-communicating objects. With ReverSysTM, touching an object on a particular spot generates a vibration with an acoustic signature unique to that spot.
According to the terms of the deal, Sensitive Object and Tyco Electronics will have access to each other's IP portfolio covering acoustic technologies.
