Share Files With a Fist Bump: Wi-R Confines Signal to a User’s Body
News
Ixana, a specialist in human-computer interfaces with distributed computing, recently developed Wi-R, a communications protocol that turns the human body into a medium through which information can travel. As the popularity of wearable electronics increases, more devices need a high-speed, power-efficient communication protocol to operate. Wi-R aims to shake up how devices talk to each other.

Ixana introduces an interactive device that uses the body’s magnetic field to transmit data
News
Foresight News, according to CoinDesk, Ixana launched an interactive device that uses the body’s magnetic field to transmit data at CES 2023 and a developer platform to accompany it. Ixana says the technology, called Wi-R, enables the human body to receive data such as music, videos, and more without connecting to WiFi or Bluetooth. Shreyas Sen, co-founder and CTO of Ixana, said that Wi-R technology can solve these problems by creating a distributed network around the human body because current VR glasses require computing to consume a lot of energy and bulk. According to Shreyas Sen, it will take another 2-4 years for the technology to appear in consumer devices, while it will take about 4-5 years for smartphones to adopt it

Purdue Ventures invests in wearable communication chip company Ixana
News
Shreyas Sen, the Elmore Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, at left, and Shovan Maity, a Purdue alumnus, are two of the three founders of Ixana. The company’s high-speed Wi-R silicon chip allows high-speed broadband communication among on-body devices to securely communicate at a fraction of the energy cost. Purdue Ventures has invested in Ixana as part of a larger $3 million seed funding round for the company.

How Low Can Ultra-Low–Power Connectivity Go?
News
Wireless connectivity has become ubiquitous. As consumers, we have a sound appreciation of the battery life of our favorite connected tech, with some of the wearable gadgets requiring daily charging. Connectivity is the essential ingredient in the rise of the internet of things and its industrial twin, IIoT, placing much reliance on low-power wireless communication, especially for battery-powered devices. As microcontroller and wireless vendors continue to optimize their devices to consume even less power, the number of potential IoT/IIoT use cases grows further.

Meet Wi-R: Data Transfer Technology That Works… by touch
News
Wi-R, a technology developed by startup Ixana, is based on quasi-static electro fields (or EQS). In detail, this means that a simple handshake is enough to transmit information between two individuals, the body then acts as an antenna.
Wi-R works wirelessly at a distance of 10cm (and 2 to 5 meters with a driver), but of course simple contact data transfer remains the most spectacular aspect of this technology.
