6-axis IMU for head tracking with an audio accelerometer for AR/VR headset
With Apple Vision Pro creating new market opportunity for wearable AR/VR headsets, the demand for extremely small electronic components for such devices to go up in the market . AR/VR headsets require sensors for head tracking and activity detection.
The leading MEMS sensor maker STMicroelectronics has announced availability of its new LSM6DSV16BX for a range of wearable audio applications.
LSM6DSV16BX is a unique highly integrated space-saving sensor for hearable devices including sports and general-purpose earbuds. It combines a 6-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. LSM6DSV16BX contains ST’s Qvar charge-variation detection technology for user-interface controls such as touching and swiping. It is ideal for applications such as true wireless stereo (TWS) headphones and augmented-, virtual-, and mixed-reality (AR/VR/MR) headsets. While delivering unprecedented integration, the LSM6DSV16BX brings superior features to the ear. The sensor embeds ST’s Sensor Fusion Low Power (SFLP) technology, specifically designed for head tracking and 3D sound, and the in-the-edge processing resources featured in ST’s third-generation MEMS...
