(1888PressRelease) February 26, 2015 - WOW EFFECT GUARANTEED!

Three years after introducing its "Sensation" technology, which adds highly innovative new control possibilities to conventional touchscreens by detecting the position of the fingers above and around the edges of the screen, FOGALE will unveil an Android Smartphone featuring incredible new possibilities.

We all think our Smartphones are much the same, and we're right! All Smartphones have broadly similar features. Only their design provides some differentiation. Convinced that manufacturers should focus on the users and, in particular, on 'naturalising' the interface with these complex communication and entertainment devices, FOGALE delivers true 3D technology to your Smartphone's touchscreen, making it possible to fundamentally change the way you think of and interact with it.

Now you can have new user experiences such as:
- A unique home page that makes it very easy to access the required application or zoom in to the keys of your keyboard to write your SMS easily - without glasses
- A "super icon" concept that zooms out when a finger approaches it and makes it possible to see the application's information
- Use the edges of your Smartphone to scroll text up and down, change the volume or switch icons without touching any keys
- Have your icons place themselves automatically
- Perform simple tasks: change page, activate the screen by putting your hand near it, rotate an image, zoom into the space
- Activate your Smartphone without touching any keys (the phone detects your fingers)
- Use your Smartphone as a simple notepad, even when wearing gloves
- Automatically adapt the interface for the right or left hand
- An intuitive and easy to use camera application

Being able to measure each fingertip's position in relation to your mobile screen and case opens up a whole world of creative possibilities for developers, such as 3D.

Initially aimed at the mobile market, there are many other applications for this technology: games consoles, TV remote controls, controls for automobiles, computers, the medical industry, etc

In performing functions with your finger hovering above the screen, the Sensation technology is reminiscent of a "floating touch" and an "air gesture", which have already been seen on some high-end Smartphones. Its huge advantage over these technologies is the much greater height of the detection range - 5cm above the screen, vs. 2 cm for competing technologies.

FOGALE has therefore developed applications that rethink and reinvent your Smartphone's interface. They are smooth, intuitive and amazingly easy to use.This is the only technology that can detect several fingers above the screen as well as at the sides of your Smartphone, opening up new horizons for today's Smartphones.

FOGALE Sensation has recently grown its teams and recruited a new CEO, to structure the company's growth and create the Asian subsidiaries that will enable us to support our clients and develop our business.

About FOGALE Nanotech
After developing a "capacitive camera", which is now fitted to thousands of medical scanners, the FOGALE nanotech researchers set themselves a new challenge: to measure the coordinates of several fingers above a screen (up to 5 cm for fingers and 10 cm for hand gestures).

Such control would enable the famous man/machine interaction to be smoother and more intuitive, more precise and complex movements. This is the beginning of a genuine technological disruption in the world of touchscreens for mobile consumer products. An "all-in-one" technology that extends today's touch-based interface beyond its physical limits, as even the sides become control surfaces - as well as all the unique possibilities from the simultaneously available multi-finger '3D hover' contactless interface. This highly innovative technology is protected by some forty patents.

FOGALE nanotech is a spin-off of the CEA (the French Atomic Energy Commission) and of the ONERA (the French National Aerospace Research Centre), founded in 1983. Over the years it has built up a unique experience in the field of high and very-high-accuracy dimensional measurement. Researchers and engineers constitute 80% of the FOGALE Group's 70-strong staff.
