Page 7: Introduction
The sensor characteristics are high scanning frequency, low latency, good touch accuracy and the fact that it can be used on any surface or even in mid air. zForce AIR Touch Sensor can be connected to the host system through a standard connector and communicate through a standard I2C or USB interface. -
Page 8: Sensor Orientation
2.2.1 Sensor Orientation The zForce AIR Touch Sensor is available in two types, one where the active area emerges straight out from the sensor (0° type) and one where it emerges out from the sensor at a 90° angle (90° type). This enables both vertical and horizontal integration. -

Page 11: Basic Principles
208.5 2.3 Basic Principles zForce AIR Touch Sensors detect and trace objects by detecting diffusely reflected infrared light. The sensor comprises an optical system arranged to combine emitted IR beams and receiver fields of view within the same apertures. IR light beams are emitted perpendicular to the output window, while receivers field of view is centered at a certain angle left and right. -

USB or I2C. The sensor calibrates itself when powered on and an object within the touch active area may interfere with the calibration. 6. To use Neonode Workbench, USB HID Digitizer mode, USB HID Raw mode, or SDK: Insert the USB cable into a computer meeting the requirements of USB HID or SDK, respectively. -

Page 19: Multi-Touch Functionality
Multi-Touch Functionality 4 Multi-Touch Functionality zForce AIR Touch Sensor determine an object's position by signals derived from emitter-receiver pairs and have the capacity to detect and track several objects at the same time. Both the HW and the SW have been optimized in order to support standard touch gestures like, pinch-to-zoom, rotate, swipe and tap. However, some combinations of two or more objects might need special consideration. -
Page 20: Adjacent Objects
AIR™ Touch Sensor User's Guide Multi-Touch Functionality 4.2 Adjacent Objects • In order to recognize two objects close to each other (A and B), a separation must allow at least one emitter- receiver channel (~10 mm) to pass freely between them. Otherwise, the two objects will be reported as one large object. -
Page 21: Mechanical Integration
Mechanical Integration 5 Mechanical Integration zForce AIR Touch Sensor can be used for different purposes, such as touch on a surface or motion in mid-air. Assembly requirements differ depending on what purpose the Touch Sensor fulfills. In addition, different industries have different standards and demands to fulfill. -
Page 22: Vertical Integration
A (mirror surface). 5.1.3 Options for Guiding and Fastening • Double adhesive tape – for smaller sizes this can be used alone to hold the zForce AIR Touch Sensor. The host system geometry needs to provide a flat supporting surface. - Page 23 Mechanical Integration The zForce AIR Touch Sensor needs to be protected from outer pressure and forces that can bend the sensor and by that change the direction of the sensor light. The most common cause of bending is when a Touch Sensor is mounted on a non-flat surface, so the host system supporting structure needs to be flat.
- Page 24 Sensor software adjusts the signal and reports a touch first when the object reaches the surface. Hovering touches is also direct linked to how the zForce AIR Touch Sensor is integrated in the host system. It’s important that the mounting surface has the correct angle compared to the intended touch surface. Twisting and tilting of zForce AIR Touch Sensor should always be avoided.
- Page 25 Angle "b" The angle "b" is defined as shown in the image below. How sensitive zForce AIR Touch Sensor is for assembly rotations is directly linked to the size. At any given angle b, the touch AA will be tilted twice as much at 200 mm compared to at 100 mm.
