Maxustech, Leading Innovators in Human-Computer Interaction, Has Announced the Welle - a Sonar Device That Instantly Turns Any Surface Into a Home Smart Controller

Hong Kong, March 30, 2017 (Newswire.com) - After years providing successful HCI (Human Computer Interaction) solutions, a group of engineers and experts in human sensing techniques have created a clever device that turns any surface into a smart interface instantly.   

The Welle is the first device of its kind to use embedded sonar to detect human motion and gestures for the control of smart devices and apps in the home or office. Using the same technology for high-level sensing in drones and self-driving cars, the compact Welle device sits on any flat surface and senses movements and user defined gestures with a highly sensitive gesture control algorithm. 

Our team strives to create novel tools for people that could be used widely. We will endeavor to develop interaction techniques that address human needs by amplifying human capabilities. The feedback has been amazing. The first reaction that people have is 'Wow!

Mark Zeng, CEO & Founder

Welle works in the home, office or anywhere with a Bluetooth connection. By placing Welle in a central location hand gestures can be used to control smart devices such as Lights, TVs, Speakers, Door locks, Thermostats, Cams, Curtains, Fans, and more. 

Welle emits safe ultrasonic waves and collects echoes that bounce back from targets within its sensing area. The echoes are extracted and then translated into different instructions using an advanced hardware design and software algorithms. These instruction are then sent to Internet of Things devices, software applications or home automation controllers to perform nearly any task.

Welle works with other smart devices with open APIs. By utilizing Bluetooth and refined sonar technology, Welle functions at a much lower power consumption than devices capable of capturing gestures.

The Welle experience doesn’t just create convenience, it totally transforms home and office life and introduces a new way for people to interact with their favorite devices.  Now the MaxusTech team is making Welle available for pre-sale to the public with special pricing and rewards for Kickstarter backers. 

The Kickstarter campaign officially opens on Kickstarter and can be seen here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1781885077/welle-turn-any-surface-into-a-smart-interface
