LSM6DSV16X application examples
Personal electronics
Did you know that carrying a laptop in a backpack that is not properly shut down can drain your battery? ST’s new 6-axis sensor is the first of its kind to offer context recognition, bringing a whole new level of experience to users, while preserving the battery.
Smartphones
While 3-axis MEMS sensors enable various basic functionalities, such as wake up modes or screen orientation, ST’s 6-axis motion-tracking sensor provides additional information on the environment. Developers can now create new services or improve existing ones, without draining the battery.
Wearables
Do not take customers for granted! After years of double-digit growth, questions remain about how reliable wearables are. Ultralow-power, ST’s always-on 6-axis sensor has been designed to boost accuracy in power-constraint applications, including wearables.
Metaverse
Easily enter the metaverse and create lifelike animated avatars with ST’s new AI-enabled 6-axis motion sensor. Build a fully immersive experience with ST’s ecosystem and replicate body gestures in real time.
