Dracula Technologies (Valence, France), a pioneer in harvesting energy through indoor light, participates at Eureka Park at CES 2023, the most influential tech event in the world, which will take place in Las Vegas, 5-8 January 2023. Dracula Technologies will showcase its LAYER technology, an organic photovoltaic (OPV) solution that generates energy from light in our living spaces and eliminates the need for batteries. The platform charges low-power indoor (LPI) devices, even in low-light conditions. Using a development kit, partners can tailor the technology to specific applications. Several samples will be presented at the event—including an autonomous temperature logger, a CO2 sensor, an infrared sensor, and a remote-control device.
