The company&#8217;s flagship chip delivers high-performance AI processing directly on-device, maximizing energy efficiency through its RISC-V architecture and non-volatile memory technologies, being optimized for power- and space-constrained applications.<\/p>\n<p>Optimized for highly compressed AI models and featuring integrated sensor fusion, ECS-DoT enables real-time processing of audio, vision, and motion data in compact, battery-powered devices. Whether extending flight time in drones, powering always-on features in augmented glasses, or enabling predictive maintenance in industrial applications, EMASS brings intelligence to designs where size, power, and latency matter most.\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" height=\"244\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.xingosoftware.com\/audioxpress\/images\/fetch\/dpr_1,w_765,h_244,c_fit\/https%3A%2F%2Faudioxpress.com%2Fassets%2Fupload%2Fimages%2F1%2F20260506135259_ECS-DoT-devboard-Web.jpg\" popup-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/https:\/\/audioxpress.com\/assets\/upload\/images\/1\/20260506135259_ECS-DoT-devboard-Web.jpg\" width=\"765\"\/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nWith a flexible SDK that supports multiple model types and a proven development-to-production path, at Sensors Converge EMASS is showing how this solution offers a fast route to differentiation and design wins. At the event, EMASS will host live, application-focused demonstrations highlighting how the ECS-DoT enables smarter, longer-lasting products without changes to batteries or enclosures. Demonstrations include a hearable application using bone-conduction voice detection in smart glasses.<\/p>\n<p>EMASS is using an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) embedded directly within the frame of the glasses to enable <a href=\"https:\/\/audioxpress.com\/tags\/bone-conduction\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">bone conduction<\/a> audio sensing. ECS-DoT detects voice activity and performs keyword spotting by analyzing subtle jaw vibrations transmitted through the temple arm of the glasses. This approach reduces the reliance on always-on microphones and enabling private, low-power voice interaction in compact wearable devices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSensors Converge is the perfect stage to show how the sensor market is moving beyond simple data collection to true on-device intelligence,\u201d says Mark Goranson, CEO of EMASS. \u201cBy processing complex AI at the milliwatt level, we\u2019re enabling a new class of autonomous, always-on sensing that doesn&#8217;t force developers to choose between battery life and sophisticated edge performance.\u201d<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.xingosoftware.com\/audioxpress\/images\/fetch\/dpr_1,w_765,h_454,c_fit\/https%3A%2F%2Faudioxpress.com%2Fassets%2Fupload%2Fimages%2F1%2F20260506135259_EMASS-ECS-DoT-backChip-with-Hitech-TWeb.jpg\" popup-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/https:\/\/audioxpress.com\/assets\/upload\/images\/1\/20260506135259_EMASS-ECS-DoT-backChip-with-Hitech-TWe.jpeg\" width=\"765\"\/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nIn addition to live demonstrations, EMASS Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Scott Smyser, will join industry experts for a featured session, Embodied Intelligence: When Edge AI Gets Legs, Wings, and More on May 7 at 1:00 pm on the Main Stage. The panel explores how edge AI enables new capabilities in autonomous ground vehicles, drones, and robotic systems operating in GPS-denied or communication-constrained environments.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the EMASS team will be available to discuss recent performance results regarding drone endurance and on-device processing gains.<\/p>\n<p>EyeFly3D is Nanoveu\u2019s end-to-end platform for glasses-free 3D, uniting proprietary screen technology with sophisticated content processing software and, now, EMASS\u2019s ultra-low-power SoC to bring immersive 3D to a wide range of devices and industries.
