Himax Endpoint AI: Intelligence at the Edge
Himax is redefining the boundaries of "Always-On" intelligence. By enabling AI processing directly at the sensor endpoint, we enhance data accuracy and eliminate the dependency on cloud connectivity. This approach drastically reduces power consumption while ensuring total user privacy.

1. WiseGuard: The New Standard for Ultra-Low-Power IoT
Turnkey Solutions for Smart Home, Building, Automotive, and Industrial Markets

Powered by the high-efficiency WiseEye AI processor, WiseGuard is a comprehensive endpoint solution that fuses multi-modal sensing with computer vision. It delivers sophisticated, sparse metadata for actionable insights at a fraction of the power required by traditional systems.

- Extreme Longevity: Achieve up to 5 years of battery life with an industry-leading average power consumption below 0.1 mA and standby power under 0.001 mA.
- Precision Sensing: High-accuracy detection and tracking of multiple individuals at distances of up to 10 meters.
- Intelligent Personalization: Distinguish between known occupants and visitors with familiar-face recognition, reducing false alarms and streamlining access control.
- Proactive Protection: Unlike reactive sensors that trigger after an event occurs, WiseGuard’s proactive sensing anticipates and captures key events as they begin, providing forward-looking security.


2. WiseEye AI: The Vision Engine for Smart Glasses
Enabling All-Day Long AI for Smart Glasses

The WiseEye AI processor is the core engine behind the world’s most advanced AR glasses and wearables. It provides the "contextual awareness" necessary for a truly immersive experience without compromising the sleek, lightweight form factor of modern eyewear.

- Dual-Vision Perception: Simultaneously supports outward-facing environmental awareness (object/gesture recognition) and inward-facing eye tracking at negligible power levels.
- Visual Excellence: Seamlessly integrates with Himax’s Front-lit LCoS microdisplays to deliver high-brightness, vivid imagery in a compact, ultra-mobile module.
- All-Day Performance: By offloading intensive AI tasks from the main application processor, WiseEye enables smart glasses to remain active all day on a single charge.
- Privacy-First Design: All AI inference happens locally on-device, ensuring that sensitive visual data never leaves the user’s glasses.
