The presentation will be given by Wessel Lubberhuizen from Dialog Semiconductor and will be on enabling wearable devices to interact with the outside world using smart sensor fusion.
In 2014 Dialog Semiconductor introduced the world’s lowest power and smallest Bluetooth Smart System-on-a-Chip. This device combines analog, digital and radio frequency functionality on a single chip and is perfectly positioned to enable low power wearable applications. We will start with a short introduction to the company, the product and the market, and then focus on a particular function called sensor fusion that aims to provide a single stream of information with the best possible accuracy by combining multiple types of lower accuracy sensors. Sensor fusion is relevant to a wide range of wearable applications including context awareness, gesture recognition, health and fitness monitoring and personal navigation.
Drs. Wessel Lubberhuizen received his degree in Experimental Physics from Utrecht University in 1996. He started his career as systems engineer for Ericsson Eurolab Netherlands in Enschede, where he specialized in digital signal processing for radio receivers. Subsequently he was a consultant at Inspiro for numerous clients, including Astron, Peek Traffic, International Datacasting Corporation, ChampionChip, and Greenpeak Technologies. In 2008, he joined SiTel Semiconductor, which was acquired by Dialog Semiconductor in 2011. He currently holds a position as Member of Technical Staff. His interests are: Digital Signal Processing, Model-Based Design and Systems Architecture. He is author of several patents.
