OSLO, Norway, January 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Elliptic Labs (OSE: ELABS), the global leader in AI Virtual Smart Sensors™, is announcing the launch of both its AI Virtual Tap Sensor™ and AI Virtual Human Presence Sensor™ on Lenovo’s ThinkPad X9 14" and 15" Aura Edition laptops. The launch of these laptops follows the successful launch of Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition, the first production laptop to ship with multiple AI Virtual Smart Sensors.
The ThinkPad X9 14" and 15" Aura Edition laptops include Lenovo’s new Smart Share hero-feature enabled by Elliptic Labs’ AI Virtual Tap Sensor. Smart Share is a breakthrough capability that enables seamless photo transfer between iPhone and Android smartphones and Aura Edition laptops through a simple tap of the phone against the side of the laptop’s display. The ThinkPad X9 14" Aura Edition laptop also offers Human Presence Detection via Elliptic Labs’ AI Virtual Human Presence Sensor. The contract for this launch was announced in September 2023.
"Launching the ThinkPad X9 14" and 15" Aura Edition laptops with Lenovo demonstrates our continued ability to execute on our strategy to deploy more virtual smart sensors per device across more models with our customers," said Laila Danielsen, CEO of Elliptic Labs. "As Lenovo ships more laptops with more of our software products, the value of our AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform is reaffirmed as we establish Elliptic Labs as a new standard to deliver device intelligence, sustainability, and innovative user experiences."

Elliptic Labs' AI Virtual Human Presence Sensor
Elliptic Labs’ AI Virtual Human Presence Sensor detects when a user is present in front of a PC/laptop system. This allows the device to sleep when a user is absent, conserving battery life and electricity, and safeguarding it from unpermitted access. Human presence detection is becoming a core capability in the PC/laptop industry, but it is currently featured only in high-end devices due to the cost, risk, and design limitations associated with a dedicated hardware presence sensor. Elliptic Labs' software-only AI Virtual Human Presence Sensor delivers robust human-presence detection that allows OEMs to easily and affordably incorporate human presence detection across a wide range of devices.
