The SpacePoint 9-axis Sensor System and Headway Sensor Engine make immersive game play and personal navigation with handhelds really possible. 

Magnetic interference and signal noise cause frequent loss of heading and inaccurate directions for current smartphone and mobile handset users. These constant interruptions can throw heading off as much as 90˚ in a matter of seconds, often without the user even knowing it.  PNI’s SpacePoint 9-axis Sensor System is a complete 9-axis sensor solution that uses advanced algorithms in the Headway Sensor Engine to solve these common problems. This enables faster, easier integration of motion sensing into handhelds and higher performance of the entire solution: better accuracy, increased reliability, reduced factory and user calibration requirements. So compass heading is accurate and reliable. Game play is longer. Augmented reality is now truly possible.  

PNI offers flexible product configurations to meet the specific needs of smartphone and handheld designers:

  • SpacePoint™ 9-axis Sensor System  - a complete motion control sensor system with intelligent algorithms for motion tracking and orientation. Includes hardware, firmware, reference design and API.
  • Headway™ Sensor Engine - an intelligent motion control sensor engine that fuses accelerometer, gyro and magnetometer data to deliver outputs that are accurate, reliable and easy to integrate. This can be adapted to work with virtually any combination of MEMS inertial sensors.
