Description

Who is Measurand?

Measurand was formed in 1993 to exploit SHAPE SENSOR™ technology, invented and patented by its founder, Lee Danisch.
It has gone on to add 3D SHAPE TAPE™ technology, more patents, and has sold sensors worldwide, while developing manufacturing processes and systems and establishing growing worldwide market channels.

How do Measurand Sensors work?

Cameras take in reflected light and form images. Measurand sensors mimic the complex curves of human or inanimate bodies, translating shape into electronic signals. Unlike cameras, they do this directly on the objects, requiring no extra space, focusing, or bright lights, and can move with the bodies, translating even the fastest moves into computer images or control signals. Measurand sensors do this with specially treated optical fibers used not to send telephone and television signals, but to sense curvature (bend and twist).
