Girton Labs has developed a novel hand tracking system

An array of heat tracking sensors in a tiny  5mm array  can track hand movement up and down, left to right at up to 50 times/second.  Applications include automobiles, mobile phones, medical  and handheld computers.  The conventional problems with touch sensors of high cost,  fingerprints and obscuring of the screen are reduced.  This low cost  heat seeking technology is also useful for tracking energy wastage in homes.  

Girton Labs consists of Managing Director,  senior biomedical  electronics engineer ,  Lyndsay Williams and a pool  of UK contract  engineers and researchers. Williams has  won research awards from Microsoft and EEDA  for  innovative computer  designs for Alzheimer’s and tablet computers.   We do custom design of embedded microcontrollers and wireless sensors.  Previous clients have included ABB Kent Meters,  Amstrad, Apple Inc,  Baxall Electronics,  British Aerospace, BT Research Labs, Commodore Computers, Ferranti,  Goldstar,  Marconi,  Microsoft Research ( Cambridge, San Francisco  and Seattle) ,  Music Sales, Novalia, Olivetti,  Pace,  Peek Traffic,  Philips,   Psion Computers, and  Studiomaster.    We have in house microcontroller circuit  design, embedded software design, pcb and   3D CAD design and fabrication including access to 3D printing. We are specialised in novel applications of wireless, inc GSM,  sensors such as accelerometers.  We  will be very pleased to help  with your challenging sensor and microcontroller  designs, please contact Lyndsay Williams, [email protected] or on 07970 101578.

In December 2009, Williams was nominated to a be a Fellow of the Royal Society of Art for her research  work in human computer interaction, Alzheimer’s,  a memory camera called  SenseCam she innovated for Microsoft Research Cambridge  and SenseBulb, a computer for Assisted Living.
