SpacePoint SCOUT™ 9-axis Motion-Tracking Module That makes about 52,415 hours of sensor fusing that you won’t have to do. SpacePoint SCOUT is the first development module that puts top caliber 9-axis motion tracking technology together in one integrated module – sensors, sensor fusion algorithms and an I²C interface – ready for quick implementation. It includes a 3 axis accelerometer, a 3-axis gyroscope and PNI’s 3-axis geomagnetic sensor that facilitates a constant, repeatable absolute orientation reference, What differentiates this module is the sensor fusion algorithms that takes advantage of the precise magnetic readings and PNI’s 25+ years of magnetic field expertise. Reliable in the Real World. More accurate and reliable than standard 6-axis IMU systems, the SCOUT delivers unbeatably accurate results that stay accurate throughout use in real world conditions. It constantly corrects for gyro drift, magnetic anomalies and other real world interference. It’s a life saver for applications that require stable and repeatable tracking of physical movement. SpacePoint Scout SpacePoint SCOUT The SpacePoint SCOUT includes a 3 axis accelerometer, 3 axis gyroscope and PNI Sensor Corporations 3-axis magnetometer that facilitates a constant, repeatable absolute orientation reference. These 9 data points are then fused using a proprietary algorithm using a high state Kalman filter. p n i s e n s o r c o r p o r a t i o n is The SCOUT is designed for use in highly dynamic conditions such as high-speed gaming, remote controllers where accuracy is demanded, robotics, and limb and body tracking virtual reality…essentially any applications that require stable and repeatable tracking of physical movement. America’s leader in the exacting science of turning information from the Earth’s magnetic field into usable orientation data. Building on decades of patented knowledge of magnetic fields and their anomalies, PNI offers today’s most reliable magnetic sensors, including both 2 and 3 axis compasses and other advanced Sensor Components sensor systems.
