Build a remote control with 9-axis Exact Gesture Responsiveness™ - and get no loss, lag or latency.
New gesture-controlling sensor systems for TVs and set-top boxes are on their way. Because of the exponential increase in on-screen content offerings, customers need more responsive ways to navigate than those offered by the old Up-Down-Left-Right sequential buttons. SpacePoint is the first 9-axis sensor system that eliminates the inaccuracy of 6-axis systems, and delivers and maintains absolute pointing accuracy at all times. No lag. No getting lost off screen. No trailing off. No interruptive calibrations. And no magnetic anomalies. SpacePoint follows the movement of handheld devices, exactly.

Real control is in your hands.
In use, 6-axis gesture-control systems have notable flaws. Point a 6-axis sensor-based device offscreen, and the pointer gets lost. Point it to an onscreen target, and it drifts off or points out of alignment. It lags behind when you move the pointer. It needs resetting. It leaves your users feeling frustrated and hamstrung. To get it to work right, a user has to “recalibrate.” And your customer service department gets a whole new set of headaches.
SpacePoint outputs Exact Gesture Responsiveness™ data using three separate 3-axis sensors, fused by the proprietary Point-Tracking Engine software — which autocalibrates and maintains accurate heading at all times. Proprietary Kalman-filtered algorithms fuse the gyro and accelerometer outputs with precise directional data from the PNI Reference Magnetic Sensor, delivering instant heading and orientation and eliminating loss, lag and latency. And unlike other 9-axis sensor systems, SpacePoint is impervious to magnetic interference, keeping pointers on track through all kinds of environments.
