Founded in 2011 by Dr. Mikael Egard, Dr. Mats Ärlelid, Mårten Öbrink, Professor Lars-Erik Wernersson and Lund University and led by Lars Lindell, CEO, Acconeer is developing a ultra-low power, high precision 3D sensor which aims to improve the way mobile devices interpret their surroundings for applications ranging from virtual reality and gaming to security and robot control.
Information from the sensor can also be used to identify different materials, or for practical applications, such as taking measurements of shirt size before ordering online.
