Motion processing promises to quickly become the next “must have” function in every handset. With unlimited functionality, motion processing technology can convert day-to-day ordinary handsets into powerful 3D intelligent devices that can help monitor everything from health to reporting your kid’s whereabouts. Handsets have pioneered adoption of new technologies since early on, such as high resolution color screens, built-in cameras, Bluetooth, WiFi, touch screens, and recently, motion processing. Motion processing, enabled by MEMS gyroscopes, will become the next “must-have” technology in the handset that promises a disruptive shift in how users interact with their phones. By adopting motion processing technology, mobile handsets will deliver advanced user experiences that leverage motion to enhance web and media navigation, and provide a range of capabilities including image stabilization, Location-Based Services (LBS), mobile gaming, health monitoring, and many other new applications. Key requirements for motion processing in handsets are small package size, low power consumption, high shock tolerance, and application specific performance programmability – all at a low consumer price point.
