Motion Engine

The core of the Freespace® motion technology is Freespace MotionEngine software. It performs the essential motion processing functions that create highly accurate and responsive motion-based applications.

Scoop

The Scoop reference design is a second-generation OEM product in-air mouse with 6-axis motion control, which interfaces wirelessly to any PC, Mac®, or USB HID compatible device through a USB dongle.

Freespace Sensor Modules

Freespace® Sensor Modules integrate the Freespace MotionEngine, embedded on a microprocessor, together with off-the-shelf MEMS inertial sensors to offer customers a fully functional, ultra-compact, and ready-to-use module that is easy to integrate into in-air pointing and motion control products. These are production products that have minimum order quantities.

Freespace Reference Kits

The Freespace® Reference Kits (FSRKs) incorporate Freespace motion solutions in a variety of configurations. The FSRKs enable easy evaluation, testing, and prototyping of Freespace motion technology for in-air pointing and motion control applications. The FSRKs give product designers and software developers all the components, tools, and documentation needed to rapidly prototype motion control devices without any prior knowledge of motion control.

Kylo

Kylo™ is a web browser optimized for use in the 10-foot living room environment; it is an OEM product based upon the Mozilla Gecko framework. For information on the free consumer version, visit kylo.tv

Software Tools

Hillcrest offers two software tools to accelerate your development and prototyping with the Freespace® MotionEngine. The Freespace MotionStudio toolkit and the libfreespace open source library are free to download and support all Freespace reference kits.
