Envisics might be a little-known company, but what it lacks in recognition, it makes up for in funds that are backing a pioneering sector of the car manufacturing industry.
This small startup has raised $50 million from various investors, including General Motors Ventures and Hyundai Mobis, to use technology that it has developed in future vehicles.
The technology in question is called augmented reality, and it says that it can produce visuals that look like they’re right in front of the car. This technology could be used in future vehicles to see pedestrians, as well as stationary vehicles. It will also help self-driving cars point out specific obstacles and hazards so that a human driver can take control again.

As employees continue returning to the office, travelers start flying again, fans slowly return to stadiums,
technology that focuses on maintaining health and safety in semi-public and private venues remains crucial
to slowing the spread of COVID-19.
In response, FLIR Systems today announced the FLIR Elara™ FR-345-EST, a fixed-mount radiometric
thermal security camera that measures elevated skin temperature (EST) accurately without contact or the
need for a reference temperature source. This system provides a safe and effective environment at high
traffic airports, stadiums, commercial buildings, and manufacturing facilities to quickly asses skin
temperature at access control points. The Elara FR-345-EST automatically guides to the part of the body that
most closely correlates to core body temperature: the inner-canthus—or the inner eye of a human
face—without sacrificing accuracy or the ability to maintain social distancing guidelines. [Read more…] about FLIR Introduces Elara FR-345-EST for Rapid and Accurate Elevated Skin Temperature Screening
FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) has announced four new additions to its Exx-Series of advanced thermal imaging cameras: the E96, E86, E76 and E54. Compared to predecessor Exx-Series cameras, the new cameras offer enhanced thermal resolution for more vibrant, easy-to-read images and on-camera routing capability to improve field survey efficiency. The new Exx-Series cameras are designed to help professionals detect the early signs of building issues, identify hot spots, troubleshoot electrical and mechanical systems, and prevent problems before they cause damage that leads to expensive repairs.
The E96, with a 640×480 resolution and eight-times digital zoom, is an extremely advanced Exx-Series thermal camera. It delivers improved measurement results over the greatest distance to target, so professionals can safely diagnose electrical faults or locate hidden anomalies at very high temperatures up to 1500 degrees Celsius (2732 degrees Fahrenheit), including in harsh industrial environments such as steel mills or kilns, to help keep the workplace running smoothly.
For the first time, FLIR Inspection Route is now offered as a standard feature on every Exx-Series camera and is complemented by the FLIR Thermal Studio Pro software with Route Creator plugin, sold separately as an annual subscription. The complete routing bundle enables professionals to create and export custom inspection and pre-planned routes, ideal for large or multi-location electrical or mechanical projects.
“The new Exx-Series advanced thermal imaging cameras enable building professionals, inspectors, engineers, researchers, and facility maintenance personnel to do more than ever before with a handheld thermal camera,” said Rickard Lindvall, General Manager, Solutions Business at FLIR. “With improved thermal resolution and on-camera routing capabilities, the Exx Series can help our customers make better, informed decisions to complete the job more efficiently and effectively.”
The E96, E86, and E76 include UltraMax® high-definition image enhancement technology and improved contrast with one-touch level and spanning functions to view greater image details. In addition, interchangeable AutoCalTM lenses offer complete coverage of near and distance targets, with the built-in laser distance meter ensuring the crisp focus needed for accurate temperature measurement.
The new Exx-Series cameras are available globally starting today through authorized dealers and FLIR.com. To learn more about FLIR Systems’ entire Exx-Series line, visit: www.flir.com/exx-series.
Through March 31, 2021, customers who purchase an Exx-Series camera will receive a free three-month Thermal Studio Pro and Route Creator trial bundle.

Road signs on city streets and county highways are important markers that let travellers know where they are, help them see if they’re going in the right direction, and allow them to judge how far they still have to travel. Before street signs, the world was a much more frightening place to travel.
The good news is that there are street signs to help guide traveller’s paths in nearly every country around the world. These signs are instrumental for giving people hope, keeping them on the right paths, and providing them with a sense of control over their travels because they know, to some degree, where they are.
You might be surprised to learn how important street signs are. However, if you’ve ever been looking for a street to make a turn and found the sign to be missing, you understand how frustrating it can be when the signs aren’t clearly displayed and where they are supposed to be.
