InvenSense: sensing your motions
posted Jan 30th 2007, 11:25 under gesture, IMUs, motion
Today I found this new company called InvenSense that focuses on developing sensing products for mobile and consumer applications. It is very interesting to see a company dedicated in pushing motion sensing into mobile devices. They say (naturally) that this technology is the next big thing in mobile devices, and in particular they see it enabling
... smarter user interfaces using hand motions and gestures as commands for more natural interaction.
They don't show actual concepts or prototypes for now, but it sure is in line with some ideas I am exploring during my degree project.
InvenSense's website offers good whitepapers and information on the topic. Check out their libray page, the video titled Gyroscopes and Accelerometers Compared is a nice overview on motion sensors and IMUs.
