Synaptics Incorporated has extended its award-winning Synaptics Astra AI-Native platform with the SR-Series high-performance adaptive microcontroller units (MCUs) for scalable context-aware Edge AI. The series features three tiers of operation: performance (100 GOPS), efficiency, and ultra-low-power (ULP) always-on (AON) to deliver intelligence at every power level. Based on an Arm Cortex-M55 core and the Arm Ethos-U55 neural processing unit (NPU), the SR-Series is supported by the Astra Machina Micro development kit and open-source SDK. It is optimized for multimodal consumer, enterprise, and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) workloads with accelerators and adaptive vision, audio, and voice algorithms. The small-form-factor MCUs have a rich set of peripherals—including multiple camera interfaces—to help minimize system cost, power, and footprint while enabling integration into a wide range of devices, such as battery-operated security cameras, sensors, appliances, point-of-sale, digital signage, and scanners.

Announced at EW2024 with the SL-Series MPUs, the Synaptics Astra AI-Native compute platform for the IoT combines scalable, low-power compute silicon for the device Edge with open-source, easy-to-use software and tools and Veros wireless connectivity. The platform was built upon Synaptics' foundation in neural networks, field-hardened AI hardware and compiler design expertise for the IoT, and refined, in-house support of a broad base of modalities.

TCL CSOT, a global leader in display technology for over 15 years, demonstrated its next-generation immersive virtual reality display technologies at MWC 2025. Among the highlights, the company presented the ultra-low power consumption VR display and the world's first mass-produced VR display with the highest PPI. These innovations are already helping to power the future of immersive visual experiences around the world.

Virtual reality is playing an increasingly vital role in both entertainment and professional applications. Around 53 million American adults already own a VR system. By 2029, the number of users in the AR and VR market worldwide is projected to reach 3.7 billion users. Amid surging demand, TCL CSOT is committed to delivering visual technologies that break the limits in more realistic, comfortable, and high-performance VR experiences.
