Nanusens is pioneering NEMS (nanoelectromechanical systems) structures inside CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductors). Nanusens was founded in 2014 by Dr. Josep Montanyà and Dr. Marc Llamas and is headquartered in Paignton, England with research and development offices in Barcelona, Spain and Shenzen, China. The founders are utilising expertise from their previous company, Baolab Microsystems.

Tuesday 12 November 2024 - What the state of XR in 2024 tells us about its potential in the next five years, including the impact of major events in the industry this last twelve months; How intuitive interfaces for AR are finally emerging, including the impact of eye tracking and Meta's EMG wristband demonstrator; How the technological status of AR waveguides and displays could develop to solve key challenges with performance and cost; A potential timeline for AR glasses to begin supplanting the smartphone

Doublepoint is a start-up specialising in gesture recognition algorithm development for wearables. Co-founded in 2020 by CEO Ohto Pentikäinen and CTO Jamin Hu, the company is in the process of scaling up through partnerships with wearables and sensor OEMS seeking to expand the human machine interfacing (HMI) capabilities of their devices. Interest in these capabilities has grown alongside the emergence of augmented reality headsets or smart glasses which require new HMI approaches.
