New Corona Countermeasures New technology development, such as operation panel without touching hands, one after another 14:22 on June 7th
In order to prevent infection with the new coronavirus, new technologies are being developed one after another to keep hands clean, such as LCD panels that can be operated without touching them.
Alps Alpine, a major electronic component company, is developing a liquid crystal panel that can be operated without touching the screen, and is aiming for commercialization next year.
It has a sensor that senses static electricity inside the screen, and by moving your finger about 3 cm, you can switch screens and select buttons in the same way as you touch the touch panel.
We were promoting development for medical institutions and nursing care facilities, but in response to the spread of the new coronavirus, there are increasing inquiries to use it for operations such as elevators in buildings and toilets in public facilities.
On the other hand, Fujitsu has developed AI = Artificial Intelligence, which reads the movements of the hands and fingers through the image of the camera and confirms that the hands can be washed properly.
It can automatically check the number of times you rub your hands and whether you are washing between your nails, and if it is not enough, you can call attention, so it will be sold to food manufacturers, medical institutions, and event venues. It is a policy.
Genta Suzuki, a senior researcher at Fujitsu Laboratories, said, "Since the spread of new coronavirus infection is increasing people's awareness of the sanitary environment, we would like to strengthen development for life support."
