PNI Sensor Launches SENtral-A2, Its Latest Sensor Fusion Coprocessor for Wearables, Smartphones
Features Context Framework for Enabling New User Experiences
(firmenpresse) - NAPA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/04/15 -- MEMS Executive Congress -- today introduced the newest member of its sensor fusion product family: , a tiny ultra-low power coprocessor that offers the most expansive algorithm feature set and development framework of any product of its kind. Freeing designers from the burden of algorithm creation, SENtral-A2 gives wearables and smartphone designers a faster way to give consumers more personalized, contextual experiences with their devices.
"The real 'magic' in wearables and smartphones stems not only from their embedded sensors but from the sensor fusion algorithms that intelligently manage the data output from those sensors to create meaningful user experiences. The challenge for product designers is to make such experiences possible without having to build sensor fusion algorithms from scratch. It's simply too time-consuming," said Becky Oh, president and CEO, PNI Sensor Corp. "Our newest sensor fusion coprocessor, SENtral-A2, comes embedded with even more built-in functions such as FFT, filters and a context framework that jumpstarts the development of context, activity and gesture algorithms. For example, designers can use our framework to develop a swimming application that recognizes different strokes or a personal coaching application that helps keep you motivated when you're doing push-ups or sit-ups."
-- enables customer-specific feature extraction for activity, context and gesture, speeding design-to-delivery of new applications
-- SENtral-A2 successfully runs Google CTS, the test suite that guarantees Google Android apps will run on a mobile device
