Believed to be the first position tracking smart sensor, the BHI160BP is designed for wearables and uses integrated inertial sensors to improve GPS location tracking.
Weartech-Components & Hardware
Satellite navigation module saves bill of materials
No external components, except an antenna, are required with the MSB1054 multi-receiver global navigation satellite system (GNSS) module from Fujitsu Electronics Europe.
IMUs have self-calibrating gyroscope
Three inertial measurement units (IMUs) in the BMI260 family are optimised for smartphone applications. The family comprises three sensors, BMI260, BMI261 and BMI263. Features include Android compliance, an I3CSM interface, and support for sensor synchronisation.
Proximity sensor has range of 200mm for VR/AR headsets
Combining ahigh power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), a photodiode, a signal processing IC, and a 12bit ADC in a single package, Vishay Intertechnology has developed the VCNL36687S to be used in smartphones, tablets, virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) headsets, and other battery-operated devices.
