InvenSense, Inc., (NYSE:INVN), a leading provider of MEMS sensor
platform solutions, announced the ICM-20690, a mainboard six-axis
sensor (3-axis accelerometer + 3-axis gyroscope) with concurrent
motion user interface (UI) and optical image stabilization (OIS)
support. The sensor supports macro image stabilization (OIS-Macro),
pioneered by InvenSense for high resolution lifelike photography of
intimate objects. The ICM-20690, an all-in-one sensor for motion,
OIS, EIS and AR applications, has been in evaluation and design-in
phase at several OEMs for the past 6 months and is the first 6-axis
dual-interface sensor entering production now with a tier 1
OEM.
In the past two years, smartphone OEMs have been focused on
creating high value new user experiences, such as macro and
multi-camera 3D photography and Augmented Reality (AR). With this
IC, InvenSense enables a flexible camera architecture in the
premium smartphone market that has traditionally used dedicated
6-axis sensors for motion UI and 2-axis sensors for OIS smartphone.
The sensor architecture of ICM-20690 enables an efficient cost
structure for the OEMs since it will not require OIS production
calibration as required with dedicated 2-axis solutions in today’s
smartphones. Further, it provides this solution without any
performance compromise as compared to dedicated solutions.
The ever increasing need for offering the best imaging
experience and the high gyroscope performance requirements for
Augmented Reality applications such as Pokémon Go™, has
necessitated the need to offer the best 6-axis performance from
flagship to mid-tier smartphones. In particular, the ICM-20690’s
stability, sensitivity and responsive real-time performance are key
in the seamless creation of augmented and virtual reality worlds
for excellent user experience.
Equally, the proprietary symmetrical architecture of the
dual-paths, make ICM-20690 the perfect solution for 360° virtual
and augmented reality applications as it can be used in dual-camera
application with synchronized and precise motion tracking on both
interfaces.
“Many consumers have complained about poor user experience
playing Pokémon Go, such as slow response times to rotation, as
well as image and character drift on handsets with no gyroscope or
a sub-standard gyroscope,” said Eitan Medina, vice president
marketing and product management at InvenSense. “Based on our
experience and strong position in both imaging and the nascent
AR/VR eco-system, we have applied our latest high performance MEMS
and innovative digital architecture to the next generation mobile
handsets.”
Finally, ICM-20690’s fundamentally superior performance and
stability also provide a more accurate navigation and pedestrian
dead reckoning (PDR) performance with accurate tracking of user’s
motion for longer periods of time and improving on GPS location
accuracy in urban canyon environments.
The InvenSense 6-axis ICM-20690 is currently available in mass
production (MP). For additional information and data sheets, please
