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.
Wearable
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.
IP innovates with visually lossless image compression for GPUs
Providing a reduction in memory footprint, Imagination Technologies has announced PowerVR PVRIC4 technology which provides cost savings for memory and bandwidth-constrained devices such as DTVs, smartphones and tablets.
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.
