Novel Smart Sensor Integration for Size- and Power-Constrained Wearable and Hearable Applications

Inhalt:
Modern wearable and hearable solutions in the consumer space, like true wireless stereo earbuds or smartwatches, pose high challenges on both component size and power consumption, at increasing functional demands. The authors present the benefits of an integrated smart sensor solution that enables intelligent computation on the edge, with a small form factor and at a low power consumption. The concept involves tightly integrating an advanced performance IMU with a dual-core low-power signal processor, accompanied by a software development environment that allows for customized device specific developments in addition to ready-provided algorithms.
