2012-05-08
hey guys it's David with emerge and we're here at Hillcrest labs booth at mobile focus at ctia looking at some of what they have to offer and hillcrest labs is all about motion sensing and helping you do things with motions so we've seen their technology in LG's two remotes for their CVS and the Roku remote that lets you play Angry Birds but what they're showing now which is pretty cool is the same technology built into smartphones and tablets so basically what it does is it takes the information for all your different sensors the gyroscope and the compass and the accelerometer and it turns it into really really accurate data about where your device is positioned in space so you can use it for much more accurate kind of panning around if you're just looking through like a virtual reality game you can see much more accurately like if I move a tiny bit left it'll actually move a tiny bit left as opposed to kind of wobbling all over the place and it'll remove magnetic interference and it just makes it much more accurate so you can do a lot of cool things they showed us a phone that when you put it down on the table it actually knows it's on a table then you pick it up and it knows you're picking it up or you can twist it to change the song and all kinds of cool stuff so there's a ton of possibilities for it and they're working with one major smartphone manufacturer now they wouldn't tell us do but some really cool potential for all the stuff you can do with this great motion technology so that's what hillcrest labs is up to at CT you
