Himax WiseEye Ultralow Power AI Sensing Technology Adopted in Acer’s New Ultra-Thin and Lightweight AI PC

Enabling Smart Human Detection and Interactive Awareness to Elevate AI in Endpoint Devices

Himax Technologies, a leading supplier and fabless manufacturer of display drivers and other semiconductor products,  announced that its WiseEye™ ultralow power AI sensing solution has been successfully adopted in Acer’s Swift Edge 14 AI series, a slim and lightweight AI notebook that has already entered mass production.

Himax’s WiseEye solution equips Acer’s AI notebook with advanced human detection and interactive awareness features, including Human Presence Detection (HPD) and health reminder alerts such as for prolonged use or close viewing distance as well as posture correction notifications. Additionally, it introduces a multi-screen assist function that automatically moves the mouse cursor to the screen the user is gazing at, enabling a more intuitive and seamless cross-screen experience. Operating reliably at just milliwatt (mW) level power consumption, WiseEye enables always-on intelligent sensing to support a wide range of AI applications, enhancing overall system performance and user experience by precisely managing device standby and wake-up timing, significantly reducing power consumption during idle periods and extending device battery life.

WiseEye has already been adopted in multiple notebook models from leading brands, and its integration into Acer’s Swift Edge 14 AI series marks another important milestone for Himax’s WiseEye ultralow power AI sensing solution in the notebook market. This achievement highlights WiseEye’s technological maturity and commercial strength in delivering highly accurate, ultralow power intelligent sensing, continuously earning recognition from top global brands. With adoption by leading global players such as Acer, WiseEye is poised to become a key frontline AI sensing technology in battery-powered devices, accelerating the AI transformation of a wide range of smart endpoint devices.
