Overview
Description
The 3D Gesture reference design is a solution that can detect the position (x, y, and z coordinates) of a hand in space using Renesas' capacitive touch sensing (CTSU) solution. The position of a hand up to 200mm above a panel surface is converted to x, y, and z coordinates. Moreover, since sensing of coordinate data can be carried out at high speed, gestures (up and down, right and left, and front and behind) and simple pattern recognition can be used to operate a device.

Features
- Based on Renesas' high sensitivity, noise-tolerant capacitive touch solution
- Sensing can be carried out with any nonconducting material - thus, it can be embedded inside a wall, etc.
- Realize system control and gesture operation for your product using a high-performance, low-power 32-bit microcontroller and touch IP
- Also possible to use gestures in combination with touch buttons
- Support for IEC 61000 4-3 Level 3
