Epson Toyocom has made an announcement on commercial development of its latest gyro-sensor XV-3700CB. The new XV-3700CB gyro-sensor has a high sensitivity featuring a wide detection range which has been optimized as an input device for motion user interfaces.
Typically, sensing the motion of persons or objects with high accuracy requires the angular velocity to be sensed over a wide range, from a slow speed to a fast speed. Typical sensors are not able to simultaneously provide a wide sensing range and good stability as well as noise characteristics. However, the new gyro-sensor XV-3700CB retains the low noise level and outstanding bias stability thanks to QMEMS technology.
Furthermore, the new XV-3700CB is capable of accurately sensing motion over a wide range by simultaneously outputting two modes, a high speed mode and a low speed mode, all in a single package. The new XV-3700CB comes in form factor of 5.0 x 3.2 x t1.3 mm. source
