Sensing solutions for AR & VR

The low-power, low-noise BMM150 is a 3-axis digital geomagnetic sensor that perfectly matches the requirements of compass applications. By means of sensor data fusion software tailored to the hardware, the BMM150 provides absolute spatial orientation and motion vectors with high accuracy and dynamics. The BMM150 is also especially suited for supporting drones in accurate heading. The BMM150 can be used together with an inertial measurement unit consisting of a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope such as Bosch Sensortec’s BMI055.

The ultra-low power BMI263 is Bosch Sensortec’s first IMU which is compliant with the latest I3C standard as defined by MIPI Alliance. This 6-axis sensor combines precise acceleration and angular rate measurement data with intelligent on-chip motion-triggered interrupt features. Based on the MIPI I3CSM serial interface with two signal lines (Data SDA & Clock SDC), the BMI263 shows reduced pin count, wiring complexity, signal paths and offers consequently high-speed data transfer at very low power levels compared to the traditional I2C or SPI interfaces.

BMI085 is a high-performance IMU specifically designed for AR/VR applications. The 6-axis IMU combines a 16-bit tri-axial gyroscope and a 16-bit tri-axial accelerometer featuring low latency and high temperature stability. Providing accurate and reliable motion tracking data even under demanding conditions such as thermal effects like heating this sensor displays maximum performance in minimal size.

The BMP390 is a very small, low-power and low-noise 24-bit absolute barometric pressure sensor. The digital, high-performance sensor is ideally suited for a wide range of altitude tracking applications. This new BMP390 pressure sensor offers outstanding design flexibility, providing a single package solution that customers can easily integrate into a multitude of existing and upcoming devices such as smartphones, GPS modules, wearables, hearables and drones.

The BHA260AB is a smart sensor, which is optimized for 24/7, always-on sensor processing at ultra-low power consumption. BHA260AB consists of the new custom programmable and powerful 32-bit microcontroller, a 3-axis accelerometer and a powerful software framework containing pre-installed sensor fusion and other sensor processing software. In combination with its wide connectivity and extendibility, the BHA260AB becomes a versatile and ideal solution when it comes to applications such as power management and wake-up control, 3D orientation, step counting or activity recognition in smartphones, wearables and other mobile devices.

The smart sensor BNO055 is a System in Package (SiP) solution that integrates a triaxial 14-bit accelerometer, an accurate close-loop triaxial 16-bit gyroscope, a triaxial geomagnetic sensor and a 32-bit microcontroller running the BSX3.0 FusionLib software. This smart sensor is significantly smaller than comparable solutions. By integrating sensors and sensor fusion in a single device, the BNO055 makes integration easy, avoids complex multivendor solutions and thus simplifies innovations, e.g. novel applications such as IoT hardware. The BNO055 is the perfect choice for AR, immersive gaming, personal health and fitness, indoor navigation and any other application requiring context awareness. It is ideally suited for demanding applications such as augmented reality, navigation, gaming, robotics, or industrial applications.

The BHI260AB is a smart sensor for advanced always-on sensor applications with significantly lower system power consumption of battery-powered devices. The sensor includes the new custom programmable and powerful 32-bit microcontroller, a state-of-the-art 6-axis IMU and a powerful software framework. The BHI260AB offers an open and flexible environment for developing sensor-based applications through a software development kit. In combination with its wide connectivity and extendibility, the BHI260AB is the versatile and ideal solution when it comes to 3D orientation, step counting, position tracking, activity recognition or context awareness in wearables, smartphones and other mobile devices.

Bosch Sensortec’s sensor fusion software BSX is a complete 9-axis fusion solution which combines the measurements from 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis geomagnetic sensor and a 3-axis accelerometer to provide a robust absolute orientation vector. The sensor fusion software BSX provides orientation information in form of quaternion or Euler angles.
