STMicroelectronics, one of the world’s leading semiconductor suppliers, has announced that its LSM6DSM 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) has been certified for Google's Daydream and Tango platforms. This certification marks a significant milestone, as the IMU is now approved to support the next generation of devices running these immersive virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies.

Google Daydream is a high-performance VR platform designed to deliver an engaging and immersive experience through smartphones equipped with compatible headsets and controllers. It allows users to explore virtual worlds, enjoy private movie screenings, and play interactive games. Meanwhile, the Tango platform enables mobile devices to map and understand 3D spaces, making it ideal for AR applications where digital objects can be placed within real-world environments.

STMicroelectronics’ LSM6DSM is specifically optimized for use in Daydream, Tango, and other VR applications. The sensor integrates a three-axis gyroscope and a three-axis accelerometer, offering energy-efficient "always-on" motion sensing to maximize battery life. Advanced power management techniques, such as improved gyroscope design, efficient data batching, and ultra-low-power manufacturing, ensure the device delivers high performance without draining the device’s power quickly.

Aymeric Gisselbrecht, Vice President of STMicroelectronics responsible for global sales of key accounts, stated, “Google Daydream and Tango are transforming the way people experience virtual and augmented reality. The certification of our 6-axis motion sensor for these platforms highlights our commitment to developing energy-efficient and high-precision inertial measurement units. Our long-term research and development efforts in sensors and actuators, combined with close collaboration with Google, are helping to bring more realistic and immersive experiences to mobile devices.”

This partnership between STMicroelectronics and Google underscores the growing importance of high-accuracy motion sensing in the future of mobile VR and AR. As these technologies continue to evolve, the role of advanced IMUs like the LSM6DSM will become even more critical in delivering seamless and responsive user experiences.
