Headsets and hearable devices can be reduced in size and power budget using the STMicroelectronics’ motion and bone-conduction sensor, said the company. The LSM6DV16BX can deliver a longer listening experience and superior hearing in TWS (true wireless stereo) headphones and AR / VR / MR headsets.
The integrated sensors can save space inside hearable devices including sports and general-purpose earbuds. It combines a six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) for head tracking and activity detection with an audio accelerometer for detecting voice through bone conduction in a frequency range that exceeds 1kHz.
