SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- At the upcoming 2016 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, global auto supplier DENSO will use virtual and augmented reality platforms to illustrate how its technology could be used to make life smarter, safer and easier. DENSO will exhibit in the North Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC); Booth #2131, Jan. 6-9.
Visitors to DENSO's booth will be able to experience how vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2X) technology can create a safer and more convenient mobile world. These technologies help with accident avoidance, hazard warnings on highways or country roads, and collision avoidance for off road vehicles.
"It's our goal at DENSO to use our technology to create a smarter, safer and more convenient world," said Doug Patton, executive vice president of Engineering at DENSO International America, Inc. "But not only on the road—we're exploring how our technology and components can be applied far beyond the automobile, like in health care or agriculture. We want our technology to lead to better quality of life for people around the world."
DENSO's exhibit will also feature a Wellness Monitoring System to measure biometrics, such as blood pressure and heart rate and a gaze detection system for the automobile that tracks eye movement and responds based on where you are looking in a vehicle cockpit.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
