Specifically designed for full-body motion tracking, this new platform provides a fully integrated hardware and software solution that dramatically cuts development costs and time to market.
Customers wanting to integrate sensors into their designs are often faced with time-consuming and complicated tasks, combining and tweaking multiple devices to create the necessary hardware and software system. There is currently no sensor solution available on the market that provides wireless and ready-to-use full-body movement feedback.
Bosch Sensortec provides business customers with:
- BHI380, a programmable IMU-based sensor system using AI functionality.
- A wearable reference design (certified CE, FCC, ISED, MSIT, SRRC, MIC, NCC, UKCA) that can be straightforwardly attached to any part of the body without having to handle cable clutter, an external camera or dedicated bodysuits.
- relative body angle information, as well as a feedback coach.
The Smart Connected Sensors platform provides complex feedback that enables users to properly perform rehabilitation exercises at home, thereby supporting a faster recovery. For highly responsive gaming applications, these motion sensors will provide intuitive, accurate control by tracking even the tiniest movements.
In the area of sports and fitness, the motion sensors can be used for complete body movement detection, for example to give detailed feedback on how well high-intensity exercises are performed. The sensors communicate wirelessly via Bluetooth Low Energy and thus do not restrict users' movement.
Thanks to the platform principle, the system can be connected to numerous applications, such as wearables, hearables and AR/VR headsets.
The platform enables up to eight nodes with various Bosch Sensortec sensors to be neatly connected to a central node, including Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), magnetometers and pressure sensors.
The sensor platform provides qualitative feedback based on integrated AI features and comes with a pattern creation software tool that helps customers customise their system design. By using this tool, the customer retains control over their data, as there is no need for regular data exchange with Bosch Sensortec.
