EPIC technology

The EPIC sensor works by detecting changes in electric potential that could be in muscles or nerves or changes in the Earth’s atmospheric electric potential field caused by a hand or body moving through it. The technology functions as an ultra-high, input impedance sensor that acts as a highly stable, extremely sensitive, contactless voltmeter to measure tiny changes in the electric field down to milliVolts. Plessey’s EPIC sensor technology is revolutionising many different areas from contactless gesture recognition to ECG monitors for remote health and fitness applications.
