In hearables, our new BHI360 sensor enables the "Voice Enhancement" function and reduces unwanted background noise even more effectively through a combination of microphone and our inertial sensor unit (IMU). Thereby the microphone filters out unwanted sound waves and the IMU detects the current position to automatically switch to a personalized noise cancellation scenario. The intelligent "Voice Enhancement" function filters out disturbing noises during telephone calls and enhances your own voice. No matter how loud your surroundings are, your conversation partner can always understand you. That's sensor tech #LikeABosch

The new BHI360 is a programmable IMU-based sensor system combining a gyroscope with an accelerometer that enables full customization. The integrated sensor fusion library enables 3D audio with head orientation for personalized sound experiences as well as simple gesture recognition. It can be used in wearables and hearables, smartphones and tablets, smart devices and more.

Our built-in sensors allow users for example to make phone calls with ease and to operate smart devices by means of gestures or voice input. Photographer Johannes Arnold is always searching for exciting subjects on the streets of Berlin. His goal is to capture the moment and telling a story with a single image. Always with him are his hearables. Read the story below and learn more about the benefits and possibilities of the new BHI360 programmable smart sensor in hearables:

Smartglasses show you where to go! Our sensors for smartglasses offer a completely new perspective and many possibilities - With smartglasses you can, for example, navigate or even read messages or notes directly in front of your eyes via a mini projection sensor. That's sensor tech #LikeABosch

The Bosch Smartglasses Light Drive provides a complete, ready-to-use solution for smaller, lighter and more stylish smartglasses, that projects hands-free information in a minimalist format such as navigation, calls, and notifications. The solution is also compatible with curved and corrective lenses. This all-in-one smartglasses system delivers a highly intuitive user experience as a convenient display extension, providing an alternative to smartphone or smartwatch screen-checking. The Light Drive is composed of a technology stack of Bosch optical, computing, and our optional standard-setting sensor components. The optical systems include microelectromechanical system (MEMS) mirrors with ASIC controller that precisely direct a low-power beam of light to the user’s eye. This technology paves the way for a day without digital fatigue.

Every second new smartphone contains sensors from Bosch that perform a variety of functions. Our inertial sensor BMI260 for example stabilizes camera shots and ensures pin-sharp videos and images. Sensors also detect whether the smartphone is held in landscape or portrait format and change the rotation of the display as a result. That's Sensor tech #LikeABosch!

BMI260 is the next-generation IMU targeting fast and accurate inertial sensing in smartphone and human machine interface (HMI) applications. The ultra-low power BMI260 is an IMU consisting of a 16-bit tri-axial gyroscope and a 16-bit tri-axial accelerometer combining precise acceleration, angular rate measurement and intelligent on-chip motion-triggered interrupt features. This next-generation IMU provides fast and exact inertial sensing in smartphones and HMI applications.

IMUs are all-rounders and not only stabilize images and videos, but also ensure for example a smooth gaming experience with a smartphone. Learn by Asphalt 9 world champion Florian Roschu how IMUs in smartphones create a smooth gaming experience:
