InvenSense’s 6-axis MotionTracking SoC selected for Intelligent Headset

Initially launched to the developer community, the Intelligent Headset will be supported by both InvenSense’s MotionApps SDK and GN Nord’s application programming interface development tools accessing the headset’s integrated motion sensors, GPS and 3D audio.



“InvenSense has a large and fast growing developer community of 7,600 developers who recognize the broad application opportunities of motion sensors. These developers can now leverage the Intelligent Headset to develop game-changing audio augmented reality, contextually-aware and location-based applications,” commented Ali Foughi, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at InvenSense.



“We are pleased that GN Store Nord, a market leader in audio processing, has chosen our 6-axis MotionTracking technology to introduce their new Intelligent Headset which can enable a whole host of new consumer applications,” he concluded.







MPU-6500 key features:



-Digital-output of 6 or 9-axis MotionFusion data in rotation matrix, quaternion, Euler Angle, or raw data format

-Tri-Axis angular rate sensor (gyro) with a sensitivity up to 131 LSBs/dps and a full-scale range of ±250, ±500, ±1000, and ±2000dps

-Tri-Axis accelerometer with a programmable full scale range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g and ±16g

-Reduced settling effects and sensor drift by elimination of board-level cross-axis alignment errors between accelerometers and gyroscopes

-Digital Motion Processing engine offloads complex MotionFusion, sensor timing synchronization and gesture detection
