Give users confidence with instant and accurate navigation, even indoors
PositionSense™ ensures reliable navigation & heading accuracy
9-axis position sensor solution for consumer and IoT products
InvenSense PositionSense™ is a dual-chip 9-axis position tracking solution for instant and precise absolute heading. The PositionSense se‑nsor solution includes the industry’s lowest power 6-axis IMU and 3-‑axis TMR-based magnetometer, with on-chip sensor fusion software and off-chip pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) software.
Ideal for smartphones, wearables, augmented reality / smart glasses, drones, robotics, and more, PositionSense ensures people are never lost and are always on the right track.
PositionSense ensures your device users are never lost
Imagine instant and accurate positioning
Absolute orientation detection for accurate heading and navigation
Users instantly see the correct heading, whether indoors, outdoors, or in a tunnel
Fast and accurate sensor calibration without an incorrect compass heading until calibrated
The sensor always gives the correct orientation, even after restarting or magnetic interference, without a figure 8 motion to calibrate
Ultra-low power consumption for always-on sensing
Enables battery life, with continuous sensing even when the rest of the device is asleep
Easy-to-integrate turnkey solution for reduced cost/time to market
Proven solution including optimized software
