Semico's Tony Massimini to Present Live Sensor Fusion Webinar February 19, 2013

Phoenix, AZ - February 13th, 2013 -- Sensor fusion has become an important feature for many portable devices, in particular smartphones, tablets and the emerging Ultraportable PCs. In fact, sensor fusion is required by Windows 8 for all tablet PCs and all convertible Ultrabooks, and recommended for clamshell Ultrabooks. Intel offers reference platforms for tablets and Ultrabooks that include a sensor hub block connected directly to the CPU. Many advanced applications are enabled by sensor fusion, including geo-fencing, gesture controls and context awareness. The manufacturers of these devices are promoting more interactive devices and intuitive computing using motion and gesture controls.
The main focus for sensor fusion is not only designing in more than one type of sensor, but also how to most effectively use the wealth of raw data. Sensor fusion encompasses both hardware and software elements. The objective is to improve and enhance the end user experience in portable applications. Consequently, this will drive further sales of the end use products and increase sales for MEMS sensors.

Tony Massimini, Chief Technology Analyst for Semico Research, will conduct a live webinar on Tuesday, February 19th at 10:00am MST. He will present highlights from his report, Sensor Fusion: The Elements are Converging, which examines the latest trends and issues for MEMS sensors in sensor fusion. There is great growth potential, but there are also issues and challenges that need to be addressed for sensor fusion to see strong adoption across many end use markets.

Space for the webinar is limited.
