Camera, gyro & accelerometer data offer comprehensive motion tracking & mapping
Qualcomm has announced at Google I/O that its Snapdragon 810 processor will power Google’s next-gen Project Tango smartphone development platform. Project Tango devices combine camera, gyroscope, and accelerometer data to estimate six degrees of freedom motion tracking, providing developers the ability to track 3D motion of a device while simultaneously creating a map of the environment.
Open-source board based on i.MX7 microprocessor
An open-source, specification-compliant board that is based on the new Freescale i.MX 7 microprocessor was announced at the Freescale Technology Forum by Arrow Electronics. Arrow also collaborated with Qualcomm Atheros, a subsidiary of Qualcomm on the board’s Bluetooth & Wi-Fi capabilities and with Linear Technologies on the board’s power supply.
Test conference steps on to international stage
The VOICE 2015 Developer Conference organised by Advantest became a truly international forum last month by holding the event in both Santa Clara, California and Shanghai, China – the first time that this annual gathering of test equipment users, suppliers and partners has been held outside the United States.
