This project is a feasibility study into adapting Metaboards' metamaterial technology for powering and charging multiple mobile smartphone devices and accessories anywhere on a large charging surface using the recently and widely-adopted Wireless Power Consortium (Qi) standard. The main outcome of this project is a technology that can be integrated into market-ready products. This project will enable Metaboards to grow its product portfolio in a cost-effective way that will allow us to address new market segments and customers.Wireless charging today is limited to close alignment between power source and receiver. The adoption of wireless is slow due to poor user experience: to the user, this is not a significant step away from existing wired charging. Freedom of alignment would enhance the adoption of wireless charging among users. Metaboards' technology will address the need for large area, flexible and scalable wireless power solutions, where energy can be routed to the receiver devices without the need for alignment. This allows us to create more flexible and functional wireless power solutions. Metaboards' proprietary technology can be used in many different environments, including home, office and public spaces.Metaboards Ltd is a UK start-up, founded on the principle of using metamaterials technologies in commercial applications. With our expertise in metamaterials and electrical and electronic engineering and relevant business experience, we can deliver a game-changing technology for wireless power transfer and drive its adoption to a wide market within the consumer electronics sector.

该项目是一项可行性研究，旨在采用Metabard的超材料技术，使用最近广泛采用的无线电源联盟(QI)标准，在大型充电表面的任何位置为多个移动智能手机设备和附件供电和充电。该项目的主要成果是一种可以集成到市场上的产品中的技术。该项目将使Metboard能够以具有成本效益的方式扩大其产品组合，使我们能够满足新的细分市场和客户。目前，无线充电仅限于电源和接收器之间的紧密匹配。由于糟糕的用户体验，无线的采用速度很慢：对用户来说，这距离现有的有线充电并不是很重要的一步。调整的自由将促进用户对无线充电的采用。Metboard的技术将满足对大面积、灵活和可扩展的无线电源解决方案的需求，在这种解决方案中，能量可以被路由到接收器设备，而不需要对准。这使我们能够创建更灵活、更实用的无线电源解决方案。Metabard的专有技术可以在许多不同的环境中使用，包括家庭、办公室和公共场所。Metboard Ltd是一家英国初创企业，建立在商业应用中使用超材料技术的原则。凭借我们在超材料和电气电子工程方面的专业知识以及相关的业务经验，我们可以为无线电力传输提供一种改变游戏规则的技术，并推动其在消费电子行业的广泛市场中采用。
