Featuring Freespace-enabled Loop and Hillcrest TV Software
The complete turnkey solution for motion sensing, motion control, and motion tracking
Freespace® motion technology is a turnkey solution for applications such as motion-based pointing remote controls, game controllers, wireless presenters, mobile handsets, and gesture recognition systems. Built upon Hillcrest's rich patent portfolio, Freespace motion technology combines a flexible, high-performance solution architecture with low-cost, commercially available MEMS accelerometers, gyroscopes and other sensors. Freespace motion technology allows our partners to build exceptional, cost-effective in-air pointing and motion control systems.
Features:
Advanced Motion Processing
Intelligent motion algorithms incorporate sensor interpretation and sensor fusion to translate natural motions into precise cursor coordinates and motion data, ensuring high-resolution pointing, 1:1 motion tracking, and accurate gesture recognition.
Orientation Compensation
Users can hold Freespace-enabled devices in any orientation and consistently generate intended cursor movement.
Tremor Cancellation
Patented algorithms enable single-pixel precision by removing most human tremor without increased latency.
High Pointer Resolution
Proprietary software compensates for inadvertent movement, such as briefly pressing the selection button or the scroll wheel. The software also provides static and dynamic calibration to dramatically reduce unwanted movement caused by noise.
Power Management
Software intelligently manages sensor and RF usage to automatically detect when the device is picked up, and when it is at rest. Wake-on-motion and on-table detection ensure long battery life and intuitive operation.
Standards-based System Tools
An easy-to-use system toolset including reference hardware and software tools enables rapid prototyping of devices and applications. A standards-based interface provides access to all individual motion readings, so developers can use precise motion data with any application that can accept Human Interface Device (HID) messages.
Benefits:
Intellectual Property Protection
Freespace motion technology is backed by Hillcrest's portfolio of more than 200 issued and pending patents worldwide.
Turnkey Solution
Freespace motion technology enables customers to build highly accurate, cost effective in-air pointing and motion control products without managing complex motion system integration.
Cost-effective Solution
Freespace motion technology is designed with a flexible architecture and component diversity to easily support multiple low-cost, commercially available MEMS inertial sensors and RF solutions. This enables our partners to implement the most cost-effective motion solution on the market.
Mass-production Ready
Freespace motion technology has been used successfully in mass production by Logitech and LG Electronics. Hillcrest's rigorous sensor qualification process and robust manufacturing test software enable devices using Freespace motion technology to enter mass production rapidly and cost effectively.
Cross-platform Application Development
Freespace motion technology offers open-source libraries and well-documented APIs, enabling rapid development of motion-based applications on various host platforms.
Developers can easily incorporate Freespace motion technology into products. Start evaluating Freespace today with a Freespace Reference Kit.
