Explore how built-in sensors from Bosch Sensortec allow users to make phone calls with ease and operate smart devices by means of gestures or voice input.
Follow along in this video by Bosch to see how photographer Johannes Arnold fully focuses on his work while keeping his hands free to capture moments on film. He uses head orientation to control his hearables, turns on environment-matching noise canceling in a tap, enables position-tracking when GPS is not available and even levels up his entertainment with head orientation for 3D audio.
Johannes’ experience was created using the latest Bosch Sensortec products, including the BHI360, BHI380 and BMM350.
Trend-setting sensor functions
The BMM350 is a very small, powerful, and low-power 16-bit/3-axis magnetometer based on the unique TMR technology, a Bosch Sensortec innovation. Magnetometers work like a compass and provide accurate orientation with respect to the Earth’s magnetic field. The BMM350 now also offers a variety of new applications, including head orientation detection for 3D audio and pixel latency reduction in AR/VR to improve the user experience and to prevent motion sickness. In indoor navigation scenarios, it provides directional information and, in combination with an IMU such as the BHI360, improves position and speed detection for e-bikes, other vehicles, or industrial applications.
