Imagine you are model pilot and for a perfect start of your model aircraft you need the actual weather conditions, especially the speed and the direction of the wind. So you can reduce the risk to crash at the start and you can decide for the ideal orientation into the wind for a take off.

With two SHTW2 sensors arranged in the right way, it is possible to measure the perspiration rate accurately. The constant transpiration, which is nothing else than evaporation of water through our skin creates a gradient of absolute humidity.

By implementing Sensirion’s SHTW2 humidity sensor it is possible to avoid fogging caused by perspiration. This “antifogging” feature is not only applicable with VR goggles but can be also applied to other goggles like skiing goggles or motorbike helmets.
