Chigoo’s new cTrolley to use Neonode zForce AIR Touch Sensor Components
December 13 2017 - 8:00AM
Neonode Inc. (NASDAQ:NEON), the optical interactive sensing
technology company, today announced that Chigoo is using Neonode’s
new zForce AIR Touch Sensor components in cTrolley. cTrolley is a
smart luggage carrier providing airport passengers with indoor
navigation and answers to real-time flight inquiries such as
boarding guides, travel updates and reminders as well as
entertainment.
The zForce AIR Touch Sensor enables instant touch interaction on
any device with a USB or I2C interface. The sensor simplifies
integration into any host based application supporting the most
common interfaces, by integrating precision optics, lasers along
with a Neonode proprietary controller IC. The zForce AIR Touch
Sensor reports touch coordinates up to 500 times per second for
virtually zero delay.
“Neonode is happy to have Chigoo adopt our zForce AIR Touch
Sensor for their demanding 13.3” display touch application in
public environments like airports where image quality, durability
and power consumption are key,” said Neonode CEO Thomas
Ericsson.
“Chigoo is happy to work with Neonode on our new cTrolley.
Neonode’s touch sensor’s fast response time makes the touch
interaction with our cTrolley enjoyable and fun, and the modular
design streamlined our assembly process. Also, in the next 3 to 4
years, Chigoo plans to deploy 300,000 cTrolley globally to cement
its leading role in the forefront of smart luggage carriers,” said
Chigoo CEO Jack Chen.
Chigoo’s cTrolleys are currently used in 10 Chinese
airports including Guangzhou, Kunming, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Chong
Qing and Qingdao. By scanning their boarding pass travelers
receive live flight status updates, including an alert when to head
to the gate for boarding. Travelers can also charge their phones
using the cTrolley trolley’s built-in charger and find directions
to their gate or the nearest restaurant or restroom using built-in
airport map navigation. Chigoo plans to make cTrolley available at
all air traffic hubs worldwide starting with major airports across
the USA, including Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago
and New York.
