Imagine a world where technology is unobtrusive and seamlessly integrated into our lives. Where intentional/deliberate communication between people and devices is no longer necessary. In this world, there is no need to push buttons or issue commands in order to activate devices, because technology is capable of interpreting implicit intentions and context. This enhances the user experience and makes it more natural – it almost seems like the devices around us intuitively understand what we want them to do.

At Infineon, this future is already becoming reality. We develop sensor solutions that enable simple and effortless user interactions with all kinds of smart devices. Bridging the gap between the real and digital worlds, our technology is developed to make life easier, safer, greener and more efficient. Our intuitive sensing solutions are at the very core of this mission. Reflecting our belief that the essential value of sensor technology lies in making our lives more convenient through seamless, natural interactions between people and sensing devices, our aim is to leave you free to focus on what really matters in life.

Infineon XENSIV™ sensors are inspired by the human senses

Inspired by the human senses, Infineon developed XENSIV™ sensors enabling smart devices to »understand« their surroundings and see, smell, feel and hear. Explore our new video!

Intuitive sensing – XENSIV™ sensors giving things the human senses

Sensors allow smart devices and robots to see, hear, feel and intuitively “understand” their surroundings. These sensing capabilities enable humans to interact with smart devices in a more natural and seamless way than ever before. They are also enabling robots to increasingly see, hear, feel and interact like humans. Here at Infineon, we are delivering the intuitive sensing innovations that are slowly blurring the technology lines between humans and smart devices.

Choose your type of sense

Infineon XENSIV™ sensors are exceptionally precise thanks to industry-leading technologies. They are the perfect fit for various customer applications in automotive, industrial and consumer markets.

Today, sensors already enable interactions between people and devices

This interaction often depends on the interpretation and merging of information from different sources. Machines cannot yet read our minds and do not always have the information necessary to correctly evaluate a given situation. So, we sometimes have to explicitly tell devices what we want them to do. This can be inconvenient and time-consuming.

Inspired by human nature, Infineon intuitive sensing solutions are designed to take the complexity out of our interaction with devices. Reflecting a holistic approach, we combine different sensors with state of-the-art software to create a comprehensive picture of the world around us. By fusing several smart sensors into one coherent intelligent system, our intuitive sensing solutions simplify complex technical processes and enable people to effortlessly interact with devices. These smart devices intuitively sense the world around them, determining what is expected and needed from them.

Infineon XENSIV™ pressure sensors - giving things a feeling

The human sense of touch is responsible for all the sensations we feel. Our skin is probably the most sensitive area. Inspired by the human senses - our XENSIV™ pressure sensors enables things to feel by measuring barometric pressure and temperature to detect altitude and air flow with extreme precision.

Infineon XENSIV™ radar sensors - giving eyes to things

Our eyes take in 10 million items of information per second. Inspired by the human senses - our XENSIV™ radar sensors enable "things" to see by sensing distance, speed, direction of movement and sub-millimeter motions.

Infineon XENSIV™ CO2 sensor - giving things a nose

Our nose: 400 receptors distinguish more than 10,000 fragrances and odors. Inspired by the human senses - our XENSIV™ environmental sensor enables things to smell by detecting gas concentrations for indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring.

Infineon XENSIV™ MEMS microphones - giving things an ear

Hearing is the most differentiated of all the senses. Our ears distinguish between up to 400,000 sounds, ten octaves and 7,000 different tone pitches. Inspired by the human senses - our XENSIV™ MEMS microphones give »smart ears« to audio and voice-controlled devices. Making communication more natural and intuitive.

Infineon REAL3™ Time-of-Flight sensors – giving eyes to things

Similar to our eyes, the time-of-flight based 3D-imager uses the time of the light flying to create a 3D map of objects, rooms and people in real-time. Infineon´s REAL™ ToF 3D image sensors - for face authentication and much more.
